Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is currently situated in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although he has a fight coming up in March, Jones is yet to leave his hometown. However, it looks like Jones and his family went through a scary situation recently.
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.

Jon Jones took to Twitter and revealed that his area had a severe snowstorm recently. He wrote, “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.”
Although it looks like Jon and his family were safe, someone forgot to lock the doors properly. It involved his daughter Olivia Jones. In a series of tweets, Jon painted a scenario that could have turned out horribly. Apparently, a bobcat snuck into their guest house, perhaps to save itself from the snowstorm.
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.

But that is not where the story ends. Apparently, his daughter Olivia, who is only 9 years of age, walked into the room unsuspectingly. “Jonny Bones” claims that she went to gather a pair of sneakers from the same room where the bobcat was hiding. But one can never expect how a wild animal will react. Fortunately for Olivia, the animal decided to run away instead of attacking her.
Jon added, “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.”
I’m so incredibly grateful this morning, that could’ve turned out so many different ways. Been thanking God all morning 🙌🏾

He concluded with, “I’m so incredibly grateful this morning, that could’ve turned out so many different ways. Been thanking God all morning.”
It is needless to say that Jon is a happy parent. Jones, who is a religious man, can not help but thank the almighty for keeping his daughter safe. Arguably the greatest fighter of all time sounds incredibly grateful after a potentially life-altering incident. Jon has had a tumultuous personal life. Is Jon married? How many daughters does he have? Let’s find out.
Jon Jones was arrested in 2021 for allegedly assaulting his fiance
While there are fighters who maintain a squeaky-clean image like Chris Weidman, Jon Jones certainly does not fall into that category. From running into a pregnant woman during a vehicular accident to testing positive for banned substances, Jon has seen his fair share of trouble in life UFC career. However, his personal life was not too pleasant either.
In 2020, Jon was arrested for allegedly breaking lockdown rules and firing gunshots. He was apprehended from a vehicle in an intoxicated state. Although he seemed to have straightened out after the incident, Jon hit another rock bottom in 2021.
On September 24, 2021, Jon was arrested for allegedly abusing his fiance. The incident took place right after his Hall of Fame induction. It also led to his removal from his old gym Jackson Wink MMA. However, the charges were later dropped after Jon took a plea deal.
Although he denied assaulting his fiance, it was definitely a personal low for Jon. Jessie and Jon got engaged in 2013 and they have 3 daughters. The oldest of their daughter is Leah Jones, who was born in 2008. Their second daughter, Carmen Nicole Jones, was born in 2009. Olivia Jones, who is the youngest and the one in question, was born in 2013.
