And I like to live more alone, but I want to share my ideology, my ideas, and my style of fighting.â€</em> He said in an old interview. <em>â€œSo I need to be a little bit famous. Now for my career, itâ€™s important to be like thatâ€”to be alone and just practice and practice because I can stay pure, clean, and without no distraction, no relationship.â€</em>

<h2>Who is Jon Jones?</h2>
Jon Jones is a former UFC light heavyweight champion and the current UFC heavyweight champion. The 37-year-old is the youngest fighter to ever win a UFC championship. 'Bones' won the UFC light heavyweight title at just 23 years of age. His MMA record now stands at 26-1-0 (1 NC).
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones’ early life and family</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones was born on July 19, 1987, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">in Rochester, New York.  </span><span style="font-weight: 400">He is the second son of Arthur Jones Jr. &amp; Camille Jones. His father was a pastor at Mount Sinai Church of God in Christ in Binghamton, New York. His mother is no more. In 2017, she passed away at the age of 55 due to diabetes.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones’ father wanted him to follow his path instead of becoming a fighter. During an <a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/jon-bones-jones-father-wanted-him-to-preach-not-join-ufc.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview with The Christian Post</a>, his father revealed that he even discouraged Jon Jones from becoming a fighter.</span>

[caption id="attachment_546110" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-546110" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210209222840/GettyImages-1204970739.jpg" alt="Jon Jones" width="1920" height="1280" /> HOUSTON, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 08: Jon Jones celebrates his victory over Dominick Reyes in their light heavyweight championship bout during the UFC 247 event at Toyota Center on February 08, 2020 in Houston, Texas.

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones has two brothers, Chandler Jones and Arthur Jones, who are both football players. Chandler Jones is a professional football player and the younger brother of Jon Jones. He played college football at Syracuse University before being drafted by the New England Patriots in 2012. He has since played for the Arizona Cardinals and is considered one of the best defensive ends in the NFL.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Arthur Jones is also a professional football player and the older brother of Jon Jones and Chandler Jones. Born on June 3, 1986, in Endicott, New York, Arthur played college football at Syracuse University and was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 2010. He has also played for the Indianapolis Colts and the Washington Football Team.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones' brothers, Chandler and Arthur, have had a significant impact on his career. Growing up in a competitive household with two brothers who were already successful athletes, he was constantly motivated to improve his own athletic abilities. Chandler and Arthur have also provided support and guidance throughout Jon's career, helping him to stay focused and grounded.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones also had a sister, Carmen Jones, who passed away at the age of 18 due to a brain tumor.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones’ wife and children</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones’ is not married. However, many did mistake him and <strong>Jessie Moses</strong> for being a married couple owing to their long relationship and the fact that they eventually got engaged. Not much is known about Jessie Moses except that she was born on</span><span style="font-weight: 400"> 12 September 1987 to Sheila Ryan. She attended the same high school as Jon Jones, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Endicott High School in New York. She then went to </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York, for her degree in Political Science.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones and Jessie Moses started dating in high school. And after over a decade of dating, Jones proposed to Moses in Easter 2013 but never got married. And back in February 2022, Jon Jones publicly announced in a now-deleted tweet that his fiancée left him soon after his arrest in 2021. But the couple seem to have set their differences aside and gotten back together. Moses was by his side when Jones won the heavyweight title on his return at UFC 285.</span>

Carmen Nicole Jones, Olivia Haven Jones, and Leah Jones are the three children Jones shares with his ex-fiancée, Jessie Moses. <span style="font-weight: 400">There is no evidence whatsoever of Jon Jones being married.</span>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-222513" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200204214214/Jon-Jones-with-wife-Jessie-Moses.jpg" alt="" width="1067" height="534" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Back in September 2021, Jon Jones was </span><span style="font-weight: 400">arrested due to a domestic violence case as he reportedly assaulted his </span><span style="font-weight: 400">fiancée Jessie Moses at the </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Caesars Palace</span><span style="font-weight: 400">. This was reported when the hotel security guard called 911 and it was reported that Jessie Moses was bleeding from the nose and the mouth. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Furthermore, upon being arrested, he was charged with </span><span style="font-weight: 400">misdemeanor battery domestic violence, and injuring or tampering with a vehicle. This was not the first time that Jones has been in trouble with the law, as he has a history of legal issues, including previous arrests for driving under the influence and hit-and-run incidents.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones' Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">As per several reports, Jon Jones is estimated to be worth somewhere between $10 Million-$15 Million as of 2024. He has earned around </span><span style="font-weight: 400">$14,300,000 from his UFC career. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">His biggest payout during his light heavyweight days was for his rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 217 which was around $1,830,000. That number nearly doubled for his heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 in March 2023. Jones earned a $2M base salary and $1.45M PPV share along with other bonuses to secure a paycheck worth a reported $3,542,000. Jones had also signed a new contract ahead of his heavyweight debut, which saw his base salary go from six digits to $2M at UFC 285.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones' career timeline</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones was a stand-out wrestler during high school. He even got his moniker, ‘Bones’ during his school days, owing to his slim frame. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">On August 9, 2008, Jon Jones made his UFC debut at UFC 87 facing <strong>Andre Gusmão</strong>, at the short notice of two weeks. In over a year and a quarter, Jones placed himself as an undefeated fighter with a perfect record of 9-0, until he fought <strong>Matt Hamil</strong> in December 2009, who handed Jones his first-ever loss. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, that served as the one and only loss ‘Bones’ has, and that too due to disqualification. Two years later, Jones faced Mauricio ‘Shogun’ Rua as a replacement for his training partner Rashad Evans who couldn’t fight on the scheduled mark owing to his knee injury. Jones defeated Rua by TKO in 3rd round and became the youngest-ever UFC champion at the age of 23.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, Jon Jones’ run in the UFC hasn’t been all glamorous and smooth. He has been suspended several times, given his controversial life outside the Octagon. Jones was expected to defend his title in May 2015 against <strong>Anthony Johnson</strong> at UFC 187 but was stripped of his title on April 28 in connection to his hit-and-run case where he allegedly crashed a pregnant woman and fled away from the scene. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Then, in 2016, when his rematch with <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-cormier/"><strong>Daniel Cormier</strong></a> was supposed to take place at UFC 200, Jones was removed from the bout by USADA for a potential doping violation and was suspended for one year. Two days after the announcement, Jones was stripped of his interim title, too.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Daniel Cormier rematch took place in 2017 instead, where Jon Jones defeated Cormier and re-captured the UFC Light Heavyweight Title. However, that win was short-lived, as USADA flagged Jones with a doping violation yet again. This forced the decision to be converted to no contest. As a result, the title was handed back to Daniel Cormier.</span>

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1561575" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-39-1-15.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones then made a return in 2018 against <strong>Alexander Gustafsson</strong> for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and won the bout via a 3rd round TKO. And from 2018 to 2020, Jones had a good run in the UFC, having 4 fights and winning all of them, until he got into a disagreement with Dana White in 2020.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After a disagreement with White, Jon Jones vacated the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and expressed his desire to move up to the heavyweight division and fight Francis Ngannou. However, according to Dana White, Jones asked for a sum on par with what <strong>Deontay Wilder</strong> made for his rematch with <strong>Tyson Fury</strong>, suggesting a paycheck of around $25 million-$30 million. After all the back and forth and a hiatus of over 3 years, Jon Jones made his heavyweight debut at UFC 285 against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ciryl-gane/"><strong>Ciryl Gane</strong></a> for the vacant title.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones' Injury</b></h2>
Jon Jones' first-ever heavyweight title defense was set to be a legacy battle against two-tie heavyweight champion Stip Miocic. The event would have headlined the 2023 November PPV, UFC 295, at the Madison Square Garden. Unlucky for Jones, he tore his pectoral tendon in training in October, a few weeks out from the fight. Further tests showed that the UFC champion would require surgery and be out for at least eight months.

Dana White announced the same via social media and pit Serghei Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall for an interim heavyweight title fight at UFC 295 as replacement. But the UFC boss never dropped the idea of Jones vs. Miocic and their fight has now been rescheduled for UFC 309 in November at Madison Square Garden.
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones contract</b></h2>
When Dana White announced Jon Jones' return with a heavyweight debut, he mentioned one other thing. At the UFC Vegas 67 post-fight press conference, the UFC CEO said Jones had signed an eight-fight deal in a new contract with the UFC. This meant Jones would likely finish his fighting career under Dana White's promotion.

The new contract also saw Jones earning a reported $2M as base salary on his return. His previous base salary was estimated to be in the ballpark of $500K. What's even more interesting was that Dana White jumped at an opportunity to cross-promote an MMA fight between Jon Jones and Tyson Fury, something he was not entertaining before. In fact, the pair even had a tiff over Jon Jones asking for boxing money (8-figure paychecks) to fight Francis Ngannou while the latter was the heavyweight champion.
<h2 style="text-align: left"><b>Jon Jones's partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones had a number of deals with major brands such as Reebok, Nike, GAT Supplements, Monster Energy, and Gatorade.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Reebok terminated the deal with ‘Bones’ after his hit-and-run case. Similarly, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Nike’s deal has been officially terminated after Jones’ brawl with Daniel Cormier. However, Jones maintained that Nike didn’t drop him. In fact, they wanted to keep him on board for the remainder of the contract but it was his decision to discontinue, and hence, he respectfully declined the deal.</span>
