Although Jon Jones is no new to controversy, it would appear that the heavyweight champion has turned a corner over the course of the last few years.
Fans are understandably anxious after learning that Jon Jones will compete against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295, and now evidence has emerged of Jones drinking in Las Vegas, adding to their concerns.
The most recent problem involving Jones occurred in Las Vegas in September 2021, when he was charged with battery and domestic abuse over an incident that occurred the previous year. After the accusation, ‘Bones’ stated that he would abstain from drinking alcohol, and it seemed as though Jones had kept his promise.
on the year 2021, he wrote the following entry on his Instagram story:
“I have experienced much too much trauma to be able to drink alcohol. My mental capacity simply isn’t sufficient to deal with it any more. I have decided to put alcohol consumption in the past for good.”A screenshot of the Instagram story that Jones shared in 2021 in the aftermath of the incident that occurred in Las Vegas

However, recent film showing Jon Jones drinking alcohol in Las Vegas has alarmed followers, who fear that ‘Bones’ may be returning to his old habits. This has caused supporters to express their concern on social media.
On Twitter, @theartofwar6 claimed that Israel Adesanya should consider himself fortunate that his viral encounter with ‘Bones’ took place on a different night than originally planned.
