In a surprising turn of events just days before his highly anticipated UFC 309 clash, Jon Jones, the former UFC champion, has agreed to attend an anger management course, following a court order from the New Mexico Court. The timing couldn’t be more crucial, as Jones is set to face Stipe Miocic in a fight that could determine the future of his MMA career. Could this be the turning point in Jones’ tumultuous journey?
Court Ruling Sends Shockwaves
The controversy began earlier this year when Jones was accused of assaulting and threatening a doping official at his home. One of the employees was a woman, which stirred up public outrage. Although Jones denied any misconduct, claiming he was frustrated by the unprofessional behavior of one male employee, the incident still led to the court ordering him to attend a 4-hour anger management course.
Following the course, Jones will be subject to a 90-day probationary period to resolve the allegations. Will this be the final chapter in Jones’ legal troubles before stepping back into the Octagon?

Will one of them claim the crown once more, or will this fight mark the end of their journey in professional MMA?
Unquestionable Talent, But Lingering Doubts

He holds the record for the youngest fighter to win a UFC championship and is currently the longest-reigning champion in UFC history. Yet, with his history of doping scandals and legal issues, many question his true legacy and whether he can perform at his best in the Octagon.
