Arthur Jones III said the following on his Instagram to announce the news:
Mom, I love you so much! It's hard to except the fact that my mother is not with me anymore she went to be with my sister in heaven. No more pain & suffering. Thank you for making me the man I am today! This Friday and Saturday will be the toughest weekend of my life. Please keep my family in your prayers.
Immediately after, many reached out to the family, including Daniel Cormier, who will take on Jon "Bones" Jones at UFC 214:
This is tragic by any definition, as 55 is simply too young. It is undeniable the impact that a woman like Camille Jones has made with her influence and we want to keep the family in prayer and thoughts at this time.
