Jon Jones can soon put one of his many public blemishes in the rear-view mirror, as the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion has taken a plea deal in his drag racing case.

TMZ.com was first to report that Jones plead guilty to unlawful use of modification of exhaust systems and improper display of a registration plate in the Albuquerque, New Mexico Metropolitan Court on Thursday.

Other charges Jones was facing, including unlawful drag racing, unlawful exhibition driving and failure to maintain traffic lane, were thrown out.

As a result of the plea deal, Jones was given a 90-day deferred sentence and must complete aggressive driving school, 60 hours of community service and pay a fine in the amount of $143. Additionally, he must avoid violating any laws in that timeframe.
