Jon Jones will not serve any jail time after a judge sentenced the ex-UFC champion to 18 months probation for fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run accident in April.

With UFC President Dana White in attendance, Jones entered a guilty plea to Judge Charles W. Brown in Albuquerque, N.M.’s, Second Judicial District Court on Tuesday. Brown accepted Jones’ plea without adjudication and granted the fighter a conditional discharge. In addition to 18 months’ probation, Jones will be required to make 72 appearances doing charity work and speaking with children.
