Jon Jones ribs NFL star brother Chandler Jones about potential charity fight
When UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and his younger brother, NFL standout Chandler Jones, teased about doing a charity fight earlier this winter, it was mostly dismissed as nothing more than harmless family jawing.
[DraftKings: Build your ultimate fantasy MMA team today!.]
After all, Chandler Jones is a Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots and his coach, Bill Belichick, is a future NFL Hall of Famer that surely wouldn't allow any kind of fight against one of the most talented fighters ever. Each brother clocks in at around 6-foot-5 and both weigh in the mid-200’s (Jon cuts large amounts of weight to reach his light heavyweight limit of 205 pounds). They teased each other and had their respective fun, but talk quickly died down.
Apparently, as it is with things of a brotherly nature, one sibling isn’t entirely OK with letting the Cain vs. Abel fantasy matchup go because early on Saturday older brother Jon took to social media to answer a fan’s question.
What ensued was pure family feuding gold:
There will be no charity fight. I didn't want to embarrass @Chan95Jones publicly like that @perrytooclutch

Art better just stay quiet “@ChristinaLPro: @Chan95Jones @JonnyBones I keep waiting for @Artj97 to join in, come on Arthur!”

No response yet from brother Arthur (the third Jones brother, who also plays in the NFL as an Indianapolis Colt), but it got us thinking: If fantasy matchups are the name of the game, why not give the fine folks over at the WWE a call – Wrestlemania is just one week away…
Three brothers enter, one brother leaves.
