Jon Jones suffered a severe blow in his personal life. His mother, Camille, who had been battling diabetes, passed away at the age of 55. The fighter has not yet spoken publicly about the matter, but his older brother, Arthur, who plays for the Indianapolis Colts, an NFL football team, posted a message on his social media about what happened.

"Mom, I love you so much! It's hard to accept the fact that my mother is no longer with me. She went to meet my sister in heaven. Enough of pain and suffering. Thank you for making me the man I am today. The next few days will be the worst of my life. Pray for our family”, wrote Arthur, also mentioning Jon, Arthur and Chandler's sister (the third brother, and player for the Arizona Cardinals, also in the NFL), Carmen, who died in 2002, a victim of brain cancer.
Despite the family drama, Jones is preparing to return to the Octagon after 15 months away. He faces his rival Daniel Cormier in the main fight of UFC 214, scheduled for July 29, in Anaheim (USA).
