36-year-old Jon Jones always finds a way to stay in the news despite being out of action. Jones is currently nursing an injury and is waiting to make a comeback. However, it seems that his comeback might be facing a new problem. ‘Bones’ is relatively active on social media and keeps fans updated on multiple issues.

He took to his X account to share a message that read, “Getting half my finger cut off at the Las Vegas airport.” The post has now been deleted, as revealed by MMA Orbit. However, the fans noticed it and shared their opinion on the whole. Such is the frustration they want the UFC CEO Dana White to remove him from the promotion.

Jon Jones was all set to take on Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 for his first title defense. However, ‘Bones’ pulled out of his clash at the last moment because of his injury. Since then the champion is working towards recovery and fans were hoping to see him later this year. His deleted tweet has now raised concerns among the fans as this might just delay his return.

Let us find out what they had to say about the whole.
