Back in the day, UFC legend Jon Jones [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jon-jones/]dominated the light heavyweight division. For nearly a decade, ‘Bones’ wore the crown of UFC’s best light heavyweight fighter, and did not let anyone come near [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-khabibs-record-is-not-even-close-to-jon-jones-fans-side-with-jon-jones-as-jorge-masvidal-gives-his-take-on-the-goat-debate/] his success. With record-breaking title defenses and dominant performances, his iconic reign will always be remembered by every MMA enthusiast. However, Jones fought his last light heavyweight fight against Dominick Reyes at UFC 247. After that, the American MMA fighter became inactive and returned almost three years later at UFC 285, in the promotion’s heavyweight division. Ever since his departure, the 205 lbs division has been riddled with problems and hurdles. It has been more than 3 years, and the light heavyweight division hasn’t had a single successful champion. Many fans term this the ‘UFC light heavyweight champ curse’! UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE LINEAGE AFTER JON JONES Soon after Jones left, Jan Blachowicz [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jan-blachowicz/]defeated Dominick Reyes to win the title at UFC 253. However, the Polish fighter could only defend the title once. Next, he lost the belt to Glover Teixeira [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/glover-teixeira/]at UFC UFC 267. However, the Brazilian met the same fate! Jiri Prochazka [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jiri-prochazka/]defeated Teixeira at UFC 275 to become the light heavyweight champ. However, a mishap caused ‘Denisa’ to vacate the title. Prochazka was going to fight Teixeira in a rematch, but opted out of it due to a horrific shoulder injury.

[https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-can-tom-aspinall-come-close-to-jon-joness-legacy-and-up-fighting-the-ufc-goat/] To decide the next title holder, UFC organized a fight between Jan Blachowicz and Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 282. The fight ended in a draw, and no one was crowned as the champion! You see, the deteriorating pattern with no win in sight? This was the curse befallen on the MMA community at large. There might be a silver lining, however. SECOND CONSECUTIVE UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMP INJURED! At UFC 283, Teixeira faced Jamahal Hill [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jamahal-hill/]for the vacant title. Hill defeated his opponent with a dominant performance to be crowned as the champion. However, the curse struck once again! This time, Hill sustained a serious injury in his Achilles tendon.

Ever since Jon Jones has left the UFC's light heavyweight division, no one has
been able to break the curse in the 205 lbs category.

I am a 24-year-old MMA enthusiast and a UFC Writer at EssentiallySports. My
passion for mixed martial arts has been a significant part of my life for over
five years. Having previously trained in boxing, I developed a deep appreciation
for combat sports. Among the many MMA fighters, Conor McGregor and Alex Pereira
stand out as my absolute favorites. Both of them have an inspirational story and
they are two of the best strikers in the world. My love for various martial arts
forms extends beyond MMA, and I firmly believe that everyone should experience
the discipline and artistry of at least one martial art in their lifetime. In
addition to my martial arts interests, I'm also a state-level powerlifter,
constantly striving to push my physical limits. Whether it's watching MMA bouts,
practicing martial arts, or lifting weights, I'm fully immersed in the world of
combat sports. I believe in the physical and mental benefits that come from
these disciplines and the values they instill. In my free time, I pursue music
production as a hobby. You can reach me at-

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Alex Pereira: Net Worth 2024, Record, Salary, and Endorsements</b></h2>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Alex Pereira?</b></h2>
Alex Pereira is the current undisputed world champion of the UFC light heavyweight. The Brazilian is also a former undisputed UFC middleweight champion. Pereira made his UFC debut in 2021, after reaching exceptional heights of success in kickboxing. The 'Poatan' also boasts a stellar record in GLORY kickboxing where he became the first simultaneous two-division champion.

His rivalry with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/israel-adesanya/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Israel Adesanya</a> is one of the most famous storylines in UFC history. He maintained his reputation even after his UFC entry as he gained another point in their rivalry by defeating 'Izzy' at UFC 281 for the undisputed UFC middleweight championship. Although he dropped the title to the Kiwi at UFC 287 a few months later, he had already built a massive stature among the UFC audience.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Alex Pereira's early life and family</b></h2>
Alex Pereira was born on July 7, 1987 in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil. According to reports, his mother's name is Maria Pereira, and she is a single mother and a housewife. His father's name is unknown.

His younger sister Aline Pereira traced the steps of her elder brother, Alex, and started off training in combat sports. She also turned a professional on 22 July 2017, debuting for the 'WGP Kickboxing' promotion.

She then fought 3 bouts under Glory and transitioned to MMA, joining the 'LFA' like her brother. However, she too began her MMA career with a defeat and currently boasts a 0-1 record in MMA. Reportedly, Alex and Aline share a loving and strong brother-sister relationship.

<img src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Untitled-design-2023-04-05T002727.567.png" />

'Poatan' belongs to the indigenous Brazilian tribe named 'Patax'. He quit school at 12 years of age and took up a job at a tire shop. This was where he developed a debilitating drinking habit. Iced cachaca- a Brazilian rum made from sugarcane - was his poison of choice. By the champion's own admission, he was a heavy drinker by the age of 16, drinking up to a liter of rum a day with some beers as well.

This excessive drinking also meant he got into fights. Pereira was able to handle himself in those situations, thanks to his crude power and sheer size. This eventually led him to take up kickboxing at the age of 21, which also helped him get off his addiction to drinking.

At the gym, where several native Brazilians trained, Pereira discovered his true heritage. This was a wake-up call for him, after having spent most of his childhood and teenage in a more urban setting. Pereira discovered his roots and heritage and adopted the name 'Poatan' roughly meaning 'hands of stone' in the native Brazilian Tupi language.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Alex Pereira's partner and children</h2>
Alex Pereira is a divorcee. His ex-wife's name is unknown. The 36-year-old, however, has two sons from his previous marriage - Alessandro Vidal Silva and Lohan Vidal Silva - both of them likely in their early teenage years.

Pereira was in a relationship with Merle Christine until late 2023. In news that shocked fans, the couple had a very ugly and a very public breakup. According to Pereira, Merle was married while she was with him and this was the reason for their split.

Next, the Brazilian's love life garnered attention again after speculations of a romance brewed between him and fellow Brazilian UFC star Polyana Viana. But those rumors came to an end shortly afterwards.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Alex Pereira's 2024 net worth</h2>
According to several sources, Alex Pereira reportedly boasts a current net worth of a whopping $4M. This comes from his UFC paychecks and endorsements.

Like other UFC fighters, Pereira also receives his salary per fight. 'Poatan' earned the highest salary of his UFC career from his UFC 300 fight, which stood at a total of $2,900,000.

His second-highest paycheck was for his middleweight title defense against Israel Adensanya. The fight earned him $1,767,000 in total. It is also important to note that for both these title fights, he had a reported base salary of a million dollars.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Alex Pereira's career timeline</b></h2>
The 'Poatan' started off his amateur kickboxing career in the year 2009 and ramped up a 25-3 record (all 25 wins via KO). Once, he had gone on record to state that all his losses had come against the same person. Pereira also turned a professional in the year 2012 and made his debut under the Brazilian kickboxing and MMA promotion named 'Jungle Fight'.

<img src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/alex-pereira.jpeg" />

Following that, he joined WGP Kickboxing where he claimed the middleweight Title of the promotion in 2015. Further, he also had a title defense as he finished off Maycon Silva in the second round of his WGP KB 40 bout.
<div class="jsx-1616312977">

At the same time, Pereira was also fighting for the noted, 'GLORY Kickboxing' promotion as well. In 2017, Pereira claimed the promotion's middleweight Championship and made four title defenses to his name. GLORY Kickboxing is also the platform that witnessed the beginning of the historic rivalry between Pereira and the former UFC champion, Israel Adesanya.

In 2021, he also became the first-ever 'GLORY' fighter to boast championships in two divisions (Middleweight and Light Heavyweight). Pereira's 'Glory Kickboxing' record of 12-4 also contains two wins over the former UFC middleweight king, Adesanya.

Pereira made his professional MMA debut under the same 'Jungle Fight' since the promotion hosted events for both kickboxing and MMA. Between 2015 and 2016, he accumulated a 2-1 record from 'Jungle Fight'. After a decorated kickboxing career, Pereira decided to move on to MMA full-time and had his fourth career MMA fight for 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' on 20 November 2020. He also picked up a convincing victory over his opponent, Thomas Powell, with a first-round TKO.
<div class="jsx-1616312977">

On September 3, 2021, it was announced that 'Poatan' had signed into the UFC. The Brazilian was put to work against <strong>Andreas Michailidis</strong> in his first UFC encounter at UFC 268 and passed the test with flying colors, securing a knockout win in the second round, courtesy of a vicious knee. The promotion scheduled him against another exciting middleweight <strong>Bruno Silva</strong> in his second fight which he won via decision.

Pereira fought the noted Middleweight <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sean-strickland/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Sean Strickland</a> in his next bout and knocked him out in the opening round. This fight earned him a shot at the middleweight gold held by Adesanya. At UFC 281 in November 2022, 'Poatan' finished off Adesanya in the final round of the bout with a standing TKO inside the Madison Square Garden.

<img src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1019157955h-1.jpg" />

However, he lost a rematch with Adesanya at UFC 287 in April 2023 in Miami. Next, he moved to the light heavyweight division where he defeated <strong>Jan Blachowicz</strong> at UFC 291 via a split decision. This fight earned him a shot at the vacant 205 lbs division's title and he knocked out Jiri Prochazka at UFC 295 to claim it. Next, he made two title defenses against Jamahal Hill and Jiri Prochazka. Alex Pereira currently holds a professional MMA record of 11-2-0 in his MMA career and is 8-1 in the UFC.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Alex Pereira's contracts</h2>
Poatan's ascend to the top at lightspeed is not slowing down anytime soon. Alongside the UFC 300 headliner, Pereira has been signed by the promotion for eight more fights.

As he revealed on the MMA Hour, <em>“When I first joined UFC, they gave me three fights. After the first fight, they renewed me for eight, Dana did after the [Sean] Strickland fight. Now, they just gave me another eight and of course, I bring [things] to the table, too. They’re happy with that but they’re very good with us, too, so, we cannot complain. We’re in a perfect relationship.”</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Alex Pereira's partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Apart from the fight purse in UFC, Pereira has a few sponsors. Pereira had an NFT partnership with <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXeMZhMfzQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OWNIC</a>. He also endorses the brand AthletiCBD. The Brazilian, like any other fighter in the UFC, gets promotional benefits from UFC fight gear as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Alex Pereira's career stats and records</h2>
Pereira's career record currently stands at  11-2-0. So far he has only suffered 2 losses- the first in his professional MMA debut against Quemuel Ottoni at Jungle Fight 82, and the second against his arch-nemesis  Israel Adesanya at UFC 287.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Alex Pereira's major achievements and awards</b></h2>
Understandably, Pereira's decorated combat sports career has earned him a lot of awards to date. Here are some of the notable accolades that the 'Patax' tribe native currently boasts:
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Shortest time and fewest bouts to win championships in two divisions in UFC history (2 years/7 bouts)</span></li>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Alex Pereira's charity and foundation</h2>
Pereira who himself rose from favelas, doesn't shy away from giving back to his community. However, when he does, it is usually without beating the drums for public acknowledgment. Be it raising funds for those affected by Zika Virus in 2017, or <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-cant-help-but-weasel-his-way-into-our-hearts-fans-cant-get-enough-of-alex-pereira-generosity-after-he-was-seen-handing-out-food-to-the-needy-at-his-favela/">delivering relief and rebuilding efforts</a> to those impacted by heavy rainfall and severe destruction in Fazendinha in 2023.

<p style="text-align: center"><b>Jiri Prochazka 2024: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</b></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Jiri Prochazka?</strong></h2>
Jiri Prochazka is a light-heavyweight UFC fighter and a former LHW champion of the division. Prochazka suffered a terrible shoulder injury ahead of his bout against Glover Teixeira at UFC 282. However, he did not withdraw and became a champion. He has lost the vacant title fight to Alex Pereira and is on his way to fight Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 300.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jiri Prochazka’s early life</strong></h2>
Jiri Prochazka was born on October 14, 1992 in Znojmo in Czechoslovakia. Unfortunately, at the age of 6, he ended up losing his father. Nevertheless, this did not succeed in deterring the fighter from his path. He amateur football for TJ Družstevník Hostěradice and was also an enthusiastic freestyle BMX rider growing up.

He was also an avid street fighter and got into many street fights and eventually found his way into Mixed Martial Arts right ahead of High School. The rest is history.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jiri Prochazka’s wife and children</strong></h2>
Jiri Prochazka used to date a lawyer named Kamila Kordulikova. However, the two are no longer together and it is known that he is currently single and not in any relationship. His ideology and his way of life mean that he does not prioritize relationships as of now.

<em>“I am living in a forest next to the lake in Bruno. And I like to live more alone, but I want to share my ideology, my ideas, and my style of fighting.”</em> He said in an old interview. <em>“So I need to be a little bit famous. Now for my career, it’s important to be like that—to be alone and just practice and practice because I can stay pure, clean, and without no distraction, no relationship.”</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Jiri Prochazka: Net worth and salary 2024</h2>
According to Mediareferee, Prochazka <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.mediareferee.com/jiri-prochazka-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">earned</a> $153,500 for his first UFC fight against Volkan Oezdemir and has a net worth of $2 million, the chunk of which comes from his career as a Rizin champion. His title fight against Teixeira earned him around $500,000. Prochazka's highest UFC purse came when he faced Alex Pereira at UFC 295. The former champ earned $897,000 for that fight.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jiri Prochazka’s career timeline </strong></h2>
He displayed a splendid performance against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dominick-reyes/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dominick Reyes</a> on May 01, 2021, at UFC on ESPN 23: Dominick Reyes vs. Jiri Prochazka. 'Denisa' knocked out Reyes via a devastating spinning back elbow and collected two bonuses. With that win, Prochazka took his UFC tally to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/009341ed974bad72" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2-0</a> and earned himself a title fight.

Next, he fought and defeated UFC light heavyweight champion Glover <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/glover-teixeira/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Teixeira</a> in the main event of UFC 275: Teixeira vs. Prochazka. He was going to fight in a rematch against the Brazilian in 2022, but an injury forced him to be sidelined. Moreover, he vacated his title. He then lost the vacant title fight to Alex Pereira. Next, he defeated Aleksandar Rakic at UFC 300.

Prochazka is a striker and has claimed an insane 25 wins via T/KO. His violent approach towards fighting has also helped him dominate his opponents. 'Denisa' Prochazka has claimed just two wins via submission and has been involved in just two decisions in his entire career. Hence, it is clear that he is an all-out attacker.

'The Denisa' holds a proud of <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Jiri-Prochazka-97529" target="_blank" rel="noopener">30-4-1</a> in his MMA career. His list of achievements and records is way too many and equally commendable. With a current win streak of 12, the fighter has definitely proved his worth and is up for creating history in the sport.

Prochazka has won one 'Performance of the Night' award for his KO against Volkan Oezdemir and has won both the 'Performance of the Night' and 'Fight of the Night' bonus for his spinning back elbow KO of Dominick Reyes at UFC on ESPN 23.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Jiri Prochazka’s contracts</strong></span></h2>
Not much is known about his contract within the UFC as of right now however, ahead of his fight with Alex Pereira, 'Denisa' shared a post saying “Signed, prepared," perhaps he has a multi-fight contract prepared with the promotion as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400"><strong>Jiri Prochazka’s partnerships and endorsements</strong> </span></h2>
Prochazka is associated with the famous BJP line of clothing. However, not much is known about his income from the brand endorsement.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Jiri Prochazka’s career stats and records</strong></h2>
Jiri Prochazka has a record of 30-4-1. At the age of 31, he weighs about 205 pounds at his light heavyweight limit. The fighter is 6 feet and 3 inches in height. Out of his 30 victories, he has won 26 fights via knockouts and TKOs. 3 wins have come via the way of submission and only 1 has come from a decision. His current record stands at 29-4-1.

<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.

Jones also had a sister, Carmen Jones, who passed away at the age of 18 due to a brain tumor. Jon Jones? wife 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 12 September 1987 to Sheila Ryan. She attended the same high school as Jon Jones, Endicott High School in New York. She then went to Broome Community College in Binghamton, New York, for her degree in Political Science. 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.? Carmen Nicole Jones, Olivia Haven Jones, and Leah Jones are the three children Jones shares with his ex-fianc?e, Jessie Moses. There is no evidence whatsoever of Jon Jones being married. 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? record and stats MMA record: 26-1-0(1 NC) Grappling Record: 5-0 Pay-per-view bouts: His payment for UFC 247 against Reyes and UFC 239 against Santos is unknown.
