Jon Jones says he was ticketed for drag racing, denies wrongdoing

The former UFC light heavyweight champion told Ariel Helwani on Monday's edition of The MMA Hour that he was pulled over in his car last week in Albuquerque and given five tickets, including one for drag racing. Jones said he didn't do anything wrong and was absolutely not drag racing in what he said was a 35-mph zone.

This is only news because Jones is on probation after a felony hit-and-run incident in April 2015. Jones ran a red light in a rented SUV and struck a vehicle driven by a pregnant woman, breaking her arm.
