Jon Jones is no stranger to getting into trouble with the law, and over the course of his exceptional career, his fans have been reminded of his dark side on multiple occasions. Ahead of his long-awaited heavyweight debut against Ciryl Gane, 'Bones' was rudely reminded of his past deeds by Sean Strickland.
The legendary former light heavyweight champion recently tweeted a harrowing tale about his 9-year-old daughter coming face-to-face with a wild bobcat that got into their house during a snowstorm. Instead of showing sympathy, the outspoken middleweight chose to troll Jones brutally. He wrote:
“What's more dangerous... a bob cat or Jon Jones after some coke… We should ask his wife lmao!!”

For context, Strickland was referring to the September 2021 incident involving a physical altercation between Jon Jones and his ex-fiancée, Jessie Moses, in Las Vegas.
Just hours after 'Bones' was inducted into the UFC 'Hall of Fame' for his fight against Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165, he was arrested for alleged misdemeanor battery of domestic violence and felony tampering with a vehicle. It is believed that he physically struck Moses in front of their kids while intoxicated.
The charges have since been dropped and Moses is no longer with Jon Jones. The record-setting light heavyweight champion has managed to keep his hands clean over the past year and is set to fight for the heavyweight title at UFC 285 in March.
Jon Jones opens up about his daughter's recent confrontation with wild animal
Jon Jones recently opened up about his daughter's harrowing experience when she faced an unexpected guest who had entered their home after a heavy snowstorm.
On Tuesday night, the former UFC light heavyweight champion's 9-year-old daughter, Olivia, found herself face-to-face with a wild bobcat who managed to enter their home in Albuquerque after a winter snowstorm.
While Jones' youngest daughter escaped unharmed, the ordeal was scary enough to terrify most parents. In a series of tweets, 'Bones' shared details of the incident:
"We had a crazy snowstorm in Albuquerque last night, I guess one of us forgot to close our guest house door all the way. This morning my little nine-year-old Olivia walked out there alone to grab a pair of sneakers she had left."
He continued:
"After completely walking into the room she was met with an aggressive hissing sound, she jumped on a countertop and a bobcat sprung out from underneath the bed, it stared at her, pounds in her direction and then decided to run the opposite way."
