Jon Jones has shared some advice for young athletes.<\/p>\n

The UFC light heavyweight champion has had an interesting 2020 so far. His closely contested bout against Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in February left many spectators believing his opponent should have won the division’s crown. His recent DWI arrest earlier this year in his hometown also raised eyebrows.<\/p>\n

Jones’ career has been littered with controversies, but his MMA accomplishments are undeniable. He holds many UFC records in the light heavyweight division, including the most title defences, most wins, the longest win streak, and most submission victories. He is also the youngest UFC fighter to become a champion at just 23 years old.<\/p>\n

Jones’ ups and downs in the spotlight have equipped him with some unique life experience. On social media, the light heavyweight champion shared words of wisdom to his fellow athletes.<\/p>\n

Note to all my young or new pro athletes out there. When you start making yourself a little money, purchase a crib before you buy the sports car. 👍🏾<\/p>\n
