Jon Jones: My mom had her leg cut off the same week as my UFC 197 fight

If current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim light heavyweight champion Jon Jones did not meet expectations during last weekend's pay-per-view (PPV) return -- despite a clear cut unanimous decision win over Ovince Saint Preux -- some new details surrounding the final days of his UFC 197 training camp may explain why.

And it's not the kind of situation you would wish on anyone.

Aside from his brief stint in county jail, "Bones" had to sit idly by and watch his mom lose her leg to diabetes, information he revealed during the UFC 200 press conference earlier this week (via MMA Junkie) in New York (watch it).
