Jon Jones‘ household is filled with Super Bowl champs, however the UFC super star informs TMZ Sports he had absolutely no possibility of having a profession on the football field — ’cause he stated he “absolutely sucked” at the sport.
Of course, Jones’ older sibling, Arthur, played 8 seasons as a protective take on for the Ravens, Colts, and Commanders … and his more youthful brother, Chandler, presently plays protective end for the Raiders.
With that being stated, football is plainly in the Jones DNA … so when we asked Jon if he might have followed in their steps, Bones made no bones about it — he was ass.
“I absolutely sucked on the football field,” Jones informed us. “I was no great at all. I didn’t play up until my senior year [of high school]. I was constantly on the group, however I never ever got to play.
Jones — who holds a 26-1 record in the UFC — says he simply didn’t get the Xs and Os, protections, or play calling behind the video game … and playing Madden didn’t assist either.
“I sucked at football. I made a hell of a benchwarmer, though,” Jones stated.
But, do not feel bad for the man — Jones wound up turning into one of the best blended martial artists ever … and he’s back in the Octagon on March 4 to deal with 11-1 Ciryl Gane — his very first battle in over 3 years.
“A lot of people wanted to take a warm-up fight,” Jones stated. “I’m going right at one of the best talents the UFC has ever seen.”
After Gane, Jones is going for Stipe Miocic who he calls “a great challenge.”
