Både Jon Jones och UFC har släppt officiella uttalanden om dagens rättegång som behandlade Jones smitningsolycka.
Jon Jones dömdes tidigare idag till bland annat skyddstillsyn för en smitningsolycka som skedde i April. Efter olyckan valde UFC att stänga av Jones och frånta hans mästartitel i lättungvikt. Nu har både Jones och UFC släppt officiella uttalanden om dagens rättegång och vad som sker härnäst.
Jones uttalande lyder enligt följande:
”With regards to today’s decision made by the court, I am very happy to now be able to put this incident behind me. My actions have caused pain and inconvenience in the lives of others and for that I am truly sorry and I accept full responsibility. I have been working hard during this time away from my sport to grow and mature as a man and to ensure that nothing like this happens again. I have learned a great deal from this situation and I am determined to emerge a better person because of it. I apologize to those who were affected by my actions in this incident and I am hopeful that I will be given the opportunity to redeem myself in the eyes of the public, my family and friends as well as my supporters. I am not sure what the future holds for me but I plan to continue to do the work needed to be productive and successful in every aspect of my life.”
UFCs uttalande lyder enligt följande:
”The UFC organization is aware that Jon Jones reached a plea agreement with authorities in Albuquerque, New Mexico this morning stemming from charges associated with a motor vehicle accident earlier this year. As a result, UFC, through Las Vegas-based law firm Campbell & Williams, will thoroughly review the agreement before discussing Jones’ possible reinstatement to return to competition.”
”More information will be made available following completion of this review.”
