Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Josh Neer will likely serve no prison time and instead received a suspended sentence after pleading guilty to two charges stemming from a New Year’s Day drunk-driving arrest.
Polk County, Iowa District Judge Douglas F. Staskal last month issued Neer a maximum two years of imprisonment after the fighter pleaded guilty to second-offense OWI and five years after a guilty plea for eluding, as first reported by mixedmartialartslawblog.com.
Neer, now on probation, has been given no travel restrictions and has been cleared to fight at UFC 101, his manager told MMAjunkie.com.
