Jon Jones gjorde under förra helgen sin comeback i UFC efter att ha varit borta mer än ett år, då han mötte Ovince Saint Preux under UFC 197 och segrade via ett enhälligt domslut. Nu berättar Jones om vad som pågick i hans liv utanför sporten och hur det påverkade honom.
Jones berättar att hans mamma som är sjuk i diabetes fick amputera ena benet, under samma vecka som matchen hölls.
Via ”MMAJunkie”:
In my last fight, you know, I had a lot of stuff stacked up against me. A lot of you guys don’t really realize what’s been going on in my personal life. My mom is in a real bad position. She’s really losing a fight to diabetes right now. She got her leg cut off the same week of my fight. So that really messed with me a lot. I was in jail the same month of my fight. Just going through a lot of stuff, man.
Thank you I regret saying she’s losing the battle what I meant to say was that shes in a battle. Please pray for her https://t.co/lGY2Nn2Y7H

I hadn’t fought in over 15 months. Everyone’s talking about my performance being so bad. I got punched twice. I won by unanimous decision. So it’s like, if that’s a bad performance, then look at the level people expect from me. It’s really not a bad problem to have. I went out there, I didn’t feel comfortable in the octagon, and I still absolutely dominated that fight.
Jones kommer nu att möta Daniel Cormier om bältet i lätt tungvikt på huvudkortet under UFC 200 som äger rum i Las Vegas den 9 juli. Jones är säker på att han kommer att segra i mötet.
I believe everything happens for a reason. I got that ring rust off of me, and I got right back to the strategy and the game plan I already had. I believe I’m going to annihilate ‘DC.’
