Ahead of his first title defense, Jon Jones has credited his brothers for his MMA journey.

While having a conversation with ‘Ketone-IQ’, Jon Jones emphasized that his brother and his jiu-jitsu teacher were the reasons why he began his career in professional fighting. “I grew up in a really athletic family. Both of my brothers — everybody knew they were going to be in the NFL when they went to college,” Jon Jones said.

He further added, “I pretty much just wanted to keep up with the Joneses. So I literally joined jiu-jitsu school and my jiu-jitsu teacher thought I had a lot of potential to be a really good martial artist. I’m glad , that I listened to him, because fast forward I had a really good career.” Jon Jones certainly shares a very close relationship with his brothers. In one of his confessions, Jones emphasized that he would fight with his brother daily, “My brother is one of the best heavyweights in the history of New York State wrestling and I would wrestle him every day in high school and I would get my big brother kicked my whole life,” Jones said in a conversation with the NFL.

Jon͏ Jon͏es comes from ͏an a͏thleti͏c͏ family, with ͏h͏ two ͏standout ͏brothers: ͏Ch͏andl͏er ͏J͏ones ͏an͏d Arth͏͏u͏r, both of whom have a ͏Jones gre͏a͏͏t͏ su͏cce͏s͏s in th͏s NFL.͏ Cha͏n͏dl͏er, ͏y͏oun͏͏g͏e͏st͏, ͏acts now for͏sa Ra͏s Veg. ͏He ͏k͏kicked ͏his NFL journey ͏i͏ 2012 ͏with ͏ ͏New͏ En͏g͏land Patr͏i͏ot͏s,͏͏where ͏ ͏͏he ͏had a ͏u ͏e ͏e ͏ before joining the Ari͏z͏ona Cardinals in 2016͏.

The oldest of them all is Arthur Jones, who is a former Super Bowl winner and an NFL veteran who won the Super Bowl Championship in 2012 with the Baltimore Ravens, becoming one of the most talked about athletes at the time. He has a net worth of $17 million and is the richest of them all. How far away is Jones from such financial status?

Jon Jones can move on with his life if he doesn’t get a fight with Alex Pereira

Jon͏ J͏on͏es stressed ͏that he would be ready͏ to relinquish ͏his title if he was awarded a fight with ͏ Alex Pereira͏ ͏for the BMF belt͏. ͏But the campaign looks to have him meet ͏ T͏om Aspin͏al͏l͏ ͏first. Dana W͏hite has stated ͏ that if Jo͏n ͏Jones decides not to eat after Saturday night, he would have to take ͏om A͏spinall ͏before we sued any other e͏n͏.

“If the bosses don’t want the Alex Pereira fight to happen then I’ll just get on with my life,” Jones said in a call with the media at the pregame press conference. He further added, “You can either lose me or get one more super fight … and that’s with Alex Pereira.”

Jones floated the idea of ​​meeting Pereira when he had a conversation with Sportsnet, “I walked away from the light heavyweight championship. I would love to walk away from this one on top too, on (my) own terms, good head on your shoulders, making lots of money. I love the position I’m in right now. To fight Pereira for the ‘BMF’ belt, that would be cool.”

Jones vs. Pereira is a money fight. That cannot be denied. It’s a cross-division superfight like Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje or Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor. Regardless of the Aspinall challenge, fans will tune in for Poatan vs. Bones, and they both know it. So the Brazilian quickly agreed to Jones’ proposal, as he will walk away with a big paycheck, as he has during the blockbuster year he’s just had.

UFC 309 would pave the way for the heavyweight division as both Stipe Miocic and Jon Jones may retire after the fight. Then Jones vs. Pereira the one-shot try Jones needs to secure his financial future?
