Jon Jones is the former UFC light heavyweight champion and is widely considered to be one of the greatest MMA fighters ever. He also comes from an entire family of elite level athletes as both of his brothers play professional football (American) in the NFL.

His brother Chandler plays for the Arizona Cardinals and his older brother Arthur, who we see play fighting with Jon in this video, plays for the Indianapolis Colts. In the past Jones has spoken about fighting his brother Arthur frequently growing up and has admitted in past interviews how tough his older brother really is.

In the following video, we see Jon and Arthur playing around and though Jones has talked previously about what a great MMA fighter Arthur would make, Jon clearly gets the better of him in this light-hearted exchange.

During the slow motion you can really see Jones avoiding all of his brother’s strikes and looks like he would land some pretty good counters had he really wanted to follow through, as well as a nice looking knee strike.

Jon has also been in the news the past while for all the wrong reasons, testing positive before his highly anticipated rematch with Daniel Cormier at UFC 200. He suspension runs until July where he is expected to make a return to action and hopefully he can stay out of trouble this time and go on a good run.
