Just a while back, the fighter had also tweeted saying that his fiancée had left him. As reported by TMZ Sports, they had been engaged for nine years and have three children. So it looks like because of such circumstances in his life, the loneliness is becoming too much for the fighter to bare.
Back in 2020, too, the fighter had been roped in by the law. He said that he suffered from anxiety.
Sadly, most of the halt in his career can be attributed to his run-in with the law or mental health issues.

On the professional front, there isn’t much clarity about when he will return. ESPN had reported that he could return in the second quarter of 2022. ‘Bones’ has been training to dominate the heavyweight division soon. However, he hasn’t fought since February 2020.
Fans can only hope to see Jon Jones in the octagon soon. After all, his light heavyweight bouts were spectacular. Hence, watching him fight at the heavyweight would be fantastic.
Jon Jones: Mental Health
Recently, a police body cam footage of the fighter was released, and many found it quite disturbing. UFC fighter Angela Hill and SiriusXM podcast host Ryan McKinnell discussed the fighter’s mental health.
