Tragic news surfaced Tuesday morning that Camille Jones, the mother of UFC pound for pound kingpin Jon Jones, and Super Bowl champions Arthur Jones, and Chandler Jones, passed away after a lengthy battle with diabetes according to TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Arthur Jones broke the tragic news via social media, with a heartfelt message asking fans to keep his family in their prayers during this difficult time:<\/p>\n

“Mom, I love you so much! It’s hard to except the fact that my mother is not with me anymore she went to be with my sister in heaven. No more pain & suffering. Thank you for making me the man I am today! This Friday and Saturday will be the toughest weekend of my life. Please keep my family in your prayers”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Immediately, the MMA community, and sporting world both began to pour out their support for the Jones family during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

Jones had a rather lengthy battle with diabetes, which saw Jon Jones reveal that his mother was forced to have her leg amputated the week before his fight with Ovince Saint-Preux at UFC 197 in April of 2016. <\/p>\n

\"Jon<\/p>\n

Prior to his scheduled UFC 200 scrap with Daniel Cormier nearly a year ago, which was ultimately cancelled, Jones gave an update<\/a> on his mother’s condition:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really tough for us to see your mom going through that. She\u2019s had a lot of scares and we\u2019re us praying for her and hoping that things get better. As of right now, she\u2019s kind of in a stabilized position where things aren\u2019t getting worse and things could be getting better for her. So we\u2019re just hoping things continue on the up and up.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jones went on to reveal that as a result of diabetes, his mother had lost her eyesight, which was the reason for her no-longer being cageside at his fights.<\/p>\n

We here at BJPenn.com would like to express our condolences to the Jones family, and will keep them in our thoughts during this difficult time. <\/p>\n
