Terrifying moment for Jon Jones and his family … the UFC legend says his 9-year-old daughter came face-to-face with an agitated wild bobcat, but thankfully, she wasn’t hurt.
The Jones fam lives in Albuquerque, NM … and the area was hit with a winter snowstorm Tuesday night. Jon says someone accidentally left the door to his guest house ajar … and as you’re about to find out, a wild bobcat hit the jackpot, finding a warm place to rest.
Fast forward to Wednesday morning … Jon says his daughter Olivia went to the guest house to retrieve a pair of sneakers, but she got a lot more than a Chuck Taylor.
“After completely walking into the room she was met with an aggressive hissing sound, she jumped on a countertop and a bobcat sprung out from underneath the bed, it stared at her,” Jon wrote, describing the harrowing situation.
Jones — who will return to the Octagon at UFC 284 in March — says the bobcat ultimately bolted in the opposite direction … a huge relief for dad.
“I’m so incredibly grateful this morning, that could’ve turned out so many different ways. Been thanking God all morning 🙌🏽”
Bobcats can weigh up to 40 lbs. … and typically hunt a variety of species like squirrels, chickens, rabbits and other small to medium-sized animals.
