Jon Jones' controversial problems
Although it looks like Jon Jones could be on his way back to the octagon after he teased a matchup with Stipe Miocic, 'Bones' must first find a way to deal with the difficulties during this trying time.
The soon-to-be UFC heavyweight recently announced that he and his long-term fiance have broken up following his altercation with officers in Vegas. Since then, he has understandably been struggling with loneliness and other mental health issues, which he shared with fans on Twitter.
