Plea hearing set for former UFC champion Jon Jones in hit-and-run case

According to a Monday morning report from Marc Raimondi of MMA Fighting, the hearing is set for September 29 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

No matter what happens in the Second Judicial District Court, Jones has undoubtedly paid a heavy price related to the incident. He is facing a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving great bodily harm or death.

The report said the the case has been transferred from Metropolitan Court to Second Judicial District Court and assigned to judge Charles Brown.

Alexander Gustafsson knows which fight he’d take if he had the opportunity.

Jones allegedly fled after hitting a pregnant woman’s vehicle while in a rented SUV.

The Endicott native was later stripped of his UFC Light Heavyweight title and suspended indefinitely.

After UFC 192, Cormier has gone on record stating that he hopes to fight Jon Jones in the future if Jones’ legal troubles are resolved. He needs a win in order to erase the bitter memory of his first-round knockout loss to Anthony Johnson at UFC on Fox in January. After Albuquerque police could not find him for almost 24 hours, Jones turned himself in and was arrested on a felony hit-and-run charge. “If you look at the murderer’s row of the 205-pound division that he went through, and he just went through it like a hot knife through butter, I mean he’s the man. Whenever he gets his stuff together, he can come right back and fight for the title”. He hasn’t had the time that Anderson Silva has had, but he’s the most dominant champion.
