Jon Jones has dealt with some considerable tax issues over the past year.
Official documents obtained by Bloody Elbow reveal that the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion was hit with multiple state and federal tax liens, dating back to December of 2018 and covering the tax years 2014-2016 (federal) and 2015-2017 (state). During that span, Jones fought only once per year, primarily due to multiple drug test failures and the 2015 hit-and-run collision that saw him stripped of his title.
The largest lien totaled approximately $1.3 million, with an additional $87,000+ assessed against Jones by the state of New Mexico.
