Francis Ngannou is arguably the strongest heavyweight fighter in the history of mixed martial arts. ‘The baddest man on the planet’ gave us a glimpse of his strength in his recent fight against Ciryl Gane at UFC 270. As of February 2022, he stands fourth in the UFC men’s pound for pound rankings [https://www.ufc.com/rankings]. The heavyweight champion seems to be in terrific form and displayed some insane grappling skills in his recent fight. We also know Ngannou for his incredibly powerful punch, which is said to be the most powerful in the world. Recently, a video went viral online where Francis Ngannou met the basketball legend, Shaquille O’Neal. Ngannou lifted the 325-pound giant with ease and showed off his unbelievable strength once again. Ngannou was smiling throughout the video and didn’t even change an expression when he casually lifted O’Neal up for the camera. In the video, we can see the basketball legend telling the ‘Predator’ that he has no body fat. After that, Ngannou lifted him up and put him down, which seemed to make Shaq tired. He then looked to the camera and said, “Yeah, that’s the first time I’ve ever been picked up”.

After this setback, &#8216;Bon Gamin&#8217; faced Australian UFC HW Tai Tuivasa in UFC Paris. Gane won the fight via TKO and secured his 11th win in professional MMA. The UFC HW star then went on to face Jon Jones at UFC 285 for the vacant UFC HW title. &#8216;Bon Gamin&#8217; came out short as he was submitted by &#8216;Bones&#8217; in the first round and hence handed his second defeat in MMA. Currently, Gane is at 11-2-0 in the UFC. With his impressive record and well-rounded skillset, Ciryl Gane looks poised to become one of the top stars in the UFC&#8217;s heavyweight division for years to come. Ciryl Gane: Ethnicity?

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones has two brothers, Chandler Jones and Arthur Jones, both football players. 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: center"><b>Jon Jones? wife</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones? is not married. However, many did mistake him and Jessie Moses 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 attended Endicott High School in New York together and started dating. And after over a decade of dating, Jones proposed to Moses in Easter 2013 and engaged shortly but never got married. And back in February 2022, Jon Jones publicly announced in a now-deleted tweet that his fianc?e left him soon after his arrest in 2021.?</span>

Carmen Nicole Jones, Olivia Haven Jones, and Leah Jones are the three children Jones shares with his ex-fianc?e, 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">fianc?e 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: center"><b>Jon Jones? brothers</b></h2>
<strong>Who is Jon Jones' brother, Chandler Jones?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">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>

<strong>Who is Jon Jones' brother, Arthur Jones?</strong>

<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>

<strong>Is Chris Jones related to Jon Jones?</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Chris Jones is not related to Jon Jones. Chris Jones is a professional football player who currently plays as a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they share the same last name and play the same sport, there is no known familial relationship between the two athletes.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones' MMA career and highlights</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 Gusm?o</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 from 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. This forced the decision to be converted to no contest. And 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 his 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: center"><b>Jon Jones' fighting style</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Jones is one of the best at range management. He hand-fights with his opponents and measures the distance. Although this technique is effective, he often ends up poking his opponents in the eye.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">He is incredibly slick and difficult to counter. Very few opponents have caught him clean. Overall, he is a well-rounded fighter with very few holes in his game.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones 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>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones controversies</b></h2>
<strong>Eye pokes:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Jon Jones, a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. One of the main criticisms against him is his frequent eye pokes during fights. This is a dangerous move that can cause severe injury to his opponents, and many fans and fighters have called for him to be penalized for this behavior.</span>

<strong>Daniel Cormier altercation:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2014, Jones got into a physical altercation with his rival Daniel Cormier during a press conference. The two fighters engaged in a shoving match, which escalated into a full-blown brawl. This incident caused widespread condemnation from fans and the UFC, with both fighters facing disciplinary action.</span>

<strong>Hit-and-run conviction:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2015, Jones was involved in a hit-and-run accident in which he ran a red light and collided with another car, injuring a pregnant woman. He fled the scene of the accident, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Jones eventually turned himself in and pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, resulting in the revocation of his driver's license and community service. He was charged with felony hit and run and sentenced to 18 months probation. The incident also resulted in the loss of Jones' UFC title and a suspension from the organization</span>

<strong>Domestic violence arrest:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In 2020, Jones was arrested on charges of domestic violence and tampering with a vehicle in Las Vegas. He was accused of hitting his girlfriend and damaging her car during an argument. Jones denied the charges, but the incident raised concerns about his behavior outside of the octagon.</span>

<strong>Other legal troubles:</strong>

<span style="font-weight: 400">In addition to these controversies, Jones has faced other legal troubles, including drug-related offenses and a suspension from the UFC for violating the organization's anti-doping policy. Despite these issues, Jones remains one of the most talented fighters in UFC history, but his controversies have marred his legacy and raised questions about his character.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Jon Jones' charity</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">'Bones' Jones had raised money for The Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Moreover, he has also tried to lend a helping hand to homeless people by distributing essential items like clothes. Furthermore, he also announced a donation of $100,000 to the first light heavyweight to win six championships in a row.</span>

Back in September 2021, Jon Jones was arrested due to a domestic violence case as he reportedly assaulted his fianc?e Jessie Moses at the Caesars Palace. 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.? Furthermore, upon being arrested, he was charged with 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. Jon Jones? brothers Who is Jon Jones&#8217; brother, Chandler Jones? 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. Who is Jon Jones&#8217; brother, Arthur Jones? 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. Jon Jones&#8217; 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&#8217;s career, helping him to stay focused and grounded. Is Chris Jones related to Jon Jones? Chris Jones is not related to Jon Jones. Chris Jones is a professional football player who currently plays as a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. Although they share the same last name and play the same sport, there is no known familial relationship between the two athletes. Jon Jones&#8217; MMA career and highlights Jones was a stand-out wrestler during high school. He even got his moniker, ?Bones? during his school days, owing to his slim frame.? On August 9, 2008, Jon Jones made his UFC debut at UFC 87 facing Andre Gusm?o, 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 Matt Hamil in December 2009, who handed Jones his first-ever loss.? 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. 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 Anthony Johnson 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.? Then, in 2016, when his rematch with Daniel Cormier 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 from his interim title, too. 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. This forced the decision to be converted to no contest. And as a result, the title was handed back to Daniel Cormier. Jon Jones then made a return in 2018 against Alexander Gustafsson for the vacant UFC Light Heavyweight Championship and won the bout via a 3rd round TKO. And from 2018 to 2020, Jones had his good run in the UFC, having 4 fights and winning all of them, until he got into a disagreement with Dana White in 2020. 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 Deontay Wilder made for his rematch with Tyson Fury, 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 Ciryl Gane for the vacant title.

Jon Jones controversies Eye pokes: Jon Jones, a former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, has been involved in several controversies throughout his career. One of the main criticisms against him is his frequent eye pokes during fights. This is a dangerous move that can cause severe injury to his opponents, and many fans and fighters have called for him to be penalized for this behavior. Daniel Cormier altercation: In 2014, Jones got into a physical altercation with his rival Daniel Cormier during a press conference. The two fighters engaged in a shoving match, which escalated into a full-blown brawl. This incident caused widespread condemnation from fans and the UFC, with both fighters facing disciplinary action. Hit-and-run conviction: In 2015, Jones was involved in a hit-and-run accident in which he ran a red light and collided with another car, injuring a pregnant woman. He fled the scene of the accident, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. Jones eventually turned himself in and pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, resulting in the revocation of his driver&#8217;s license and community service. He was charged with felony hit and run and sentenced to 18 months probation. The incident also resulted in the loss of Jones&#8217; UFC title and a suspension from the organization Domestic violence arrest: In 2020, Jones was arrested on charges of domestic violence and tampering with a vehicle in Las Vegas. He was accused of hitting his girlfriend and damaging her car during an argument. Jones denied the charges, but the incident raised concerns about his behavior outside of the octagon. Other legal troubles: In addition to these controversies, Jones has faced other legal troubles, including drug-related offenses and a suspension from the UFC for violating the organization&#8217;s anti-doping policy. Despite these issues, Jones remains one of the most talented fighters in UFC history, but his controversies have marred his legacy and raised questions about his character.
