For those that have lost, holidays can sometimes feel more like a burden than a celebration. Now experiencing his first Mother’s Day since his mother’s passing, UFC superstar Jon Jones has come forward with a series of messages over social media.
Jon Jones’s mother, Camille Jones, passed away in June of 2017 after a long battle with diabetes. With Mother’s Day for 2018 having now arrived, Jones has come forward to express his emotions.
“First holiday I’ve spent so angry,” the former UFC light heavyweight champion first stated.
