Alright, let’s gab about this Jon Jones fella, the one they call “Bones.” Folks say he’s a big deal in that fightin’ game, the UFC or somethin’. Heard tell he’s the heavyweight champ now, which I reckon means he’s pretty darn tough. Like that ol’ rooster we had back on the farm, always peckin’ at everything.
Now, this Jon, he’s got himself a family, just like the rest of us. Family’s important, ya know? More important than all that fightin’, if you ask me. They say his daddy, Arthur, he’s a preacher man over in New York, Binghamton I think they called it. Preaches at the Mount Sinai Church of God in Christ, sounds fancy, don’t it?
- Daddy didn’t want Jon fightin’, see?
- Guess he figured preachin’ was a safer bet, and maybe it is.
- But Jon, he went his own way, stubborn like a mule, just like my Jedediah.
This Jon, he’s got a woman too, they call her a “fiancee,” which I guess is like bein’ promised to get hitched. Don’t know her name, but I hope she keeps him in line. Fighters, they can be a wild bunch, you know. Reminds me of them boys down at the county fair, always lookin’ for a scrap after a few too many beers.
They got kids too, I hear. Don’t know how many, or if they’re boys or girls, but kids are a blessin’, that’s for sure. Keeps ya busy, that’s for certain. Runnin’ around like chickens with their heads cut off, but wouldn’t trade ’em for the world. Hope Jon spends time with them young’uns, ain’t nothin’ more important than family, I tell ya.
Jon Jones, the fighter. He’s made a name for himself, they say. Carved a place in history, like my grandma’s old wooden spoon, always there in the kitchen. But fame and fightin’, that ain’t everything. It’s the folks you got around ya, the ones who love ya, that’s what really matters. Like my old man used to say, “You can have all the gold in the world, but if you ain’t got no one to share it with, you ain’t got nothin’ at all.”
This fightin’ business, it seems rough. Punchin’ and kickin’ and whatnot. I don’t rightly understand it all, but I reckon it takes a lot of grit and determination. Jon, he must have plenty of that. But I hope he’s got some softness in him too, for his family, ya know? A man needs to be tough on the outside, but gentle on the inside, like a good biscuit, crisp on the crust but fluffy in the middle.
So, that’s the story of Jon Jones’ family, as best as I can tell ya. A preacher daddy, a fiancee waitin’ to get hitched, and some young’uns needin’ a daddy. Sounds like a regular family to me, just with a bit more punchin’ involved. Hope they’re happy, them Joneses. Happiness is what we all want in the end, ain’t it? More than all the fightin’ titles in the world, a warm home and a lovin’ family, that’s the real victory. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my stew, don’t want it burnin’ like that time Jedediah tried to cook… well, that’s a story for another day.
Anyways, Jon Jones, a fighter with a family. Remember, even champions need folks they love and who love them back. And that’s more important than any fight a man can win. Ain’t that the truth?
