Professional mixed martial artist Jon Jones is under contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He also has the title of UFC Heavyweight Champion right now. He has also held the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship twice. In 2016, the UFC fighter also held the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in transition.
In addition, he holds the 10th spot in the UFC men’s pound-for-pound rankings as of February 14, 2023. He also began fighting while Jon was a high school student. He was also a standout wrestler in high school, winning the state title at Union-Endicott High School. Jones was an athletic young guy who played football as a defensive lineman early in his career.
Is Jon Jones a prisoner?
A mixed martial artist has a lengthy legal past as well as a professional career, as was previously noted. People thus worry whether the UFC fighter is still incarcerated and serving his sentence. He is not now incarcerated, but owing to his prior legal troubles, his name often appears at the start of contentious headers.
Jones, meanwhile, is back in the fight after recently taking on Ciryl Gane. By submitting Gane in the first round, he won the vacant UFC Heavyweight Championship. On March 4, 2023, Jones submitted with a guillotine choke to win the match and win the championship.
Why Was Jon Jones Detained?
Jon Jones has been detained several times for various offenses. The boxer was detained for a hit-and-run incident in 2015. Jones was detained for a hit-and-run incident less than a month before he was scheduled to defend his 205-pound championship against the late Anthony Johnson.
Jones reportedly slammed into a pregnant woman’s vehicle after running a red signal. The lady was brought as quickly as possible to the hospital. She, however, sustained “non-life-threatening injuries” while Jones surrendered and was lodged in a detention facility.
In addition, he had many traffic citations in 2016. Jones was also accused of breaking the terms of his probation. Similarly, Jones was stopped once again and given an undetermined DWI charge. Police saw him be intoxicated during the arrest, and the UFC fighter later blew double the legal limit during a breathalyzer test.
In addition, a bottle of Recuerdo Mezcal was empty when officers searched Jones’ vehicle. At the scene, Jon was detained and transported to the neighborhood prison. Jones was accused of domestic abuse and tampering with a car in September 2021. Later, it was revealed by the sources that he and his fiancée Jessie Moses got into a “little bit” of a physical altercation.
Jon Jones’s Family and Spouse
Jon Jones has not yet tied the knot. He is the father of three children, nevertheless. Leah, Carmen Nicole Jones, and Olivia Haven are the three girls that Jones and his fiancée have. Leah’s older sister was one of the four daughters the UFC champion previously claimed he had. Similarly, Jon revealed on Twitter that his girlfriend had broken up with him two months earlier.
Jones was born on July 19, 1987, to his father Arthur, and mother Camille. He spent his formative years in Rochester, New York, where he was born. In a similar vein, Jon was one of four kids.
