Jones was arrested last April 27 after running a red light in a rented SUV and causing a three-car collision in Albuquerque. The former light heavyweight champion pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of the accident.
Jones was eventually granted a discharge on condition that he will undergo 18 months of supervised probation and 72 charity speaking appearances with children.
He will not be convicted of a felony if he fulfills the conditions of his probation.
"We've made it clear to Jon that this new opportunity to compete in UFC is a privilege and not a right, and that there are significant expectations we have regarding his conduct moving forward," said UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta in a statement posted on MMA Fighting.
"We're happy to read and see reports that he has embraced the terms of his plea agreement and is using this experience to grow and develop as a person."
Jones, for his part, expressed remorse for his actions and vowed that "the best is yet to come."
