Jon Jones net worth: How much is ‘Bones' worth ahead of UFC 232?
JON JONES net worth - Express Sport gives you the lowdown on the former UFC light-heavy champion's financial worth.
Jon Jones makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon in the early hours of Sunday morning.
New York native Jones will set foot inside the cage for the first time in 15 months in the main event of UFC 232, which takes place at the Forum in Los Angeles, California.
Welcoming Jones back to the cage will be his old rival Alexander Gustafsson, whom he’ll face for the light-heavyweight title he was stripped of in September 2017.
UFC 232’s main event will almost certainly bring Jones one of the biggest paydays of his career and significantly boost his net worth.
For each of last three fights, Jones has earned well over £400,000, comfortably making him one of the UFC’s highest earners.
Two years ago, the 31-year-old claimed his net worth stood at £6.32million [$8million] in an angry Twitter conversation he had with UFC lightweight Tyson Griffin.
That figure has no doubt increased dramatically as he pocked £483,000 [£$580,000] and £419,000 [$530,000] for his last two bouts with Daniel Cormier and Ovince Saint Preux.
