The Nearly MMA Fighter: Arthur Jones and His Impact on Jon Jones in the UFC
Arthur Jones, a former NFL player and brother of UFC champion Jon Jones, has passed away at the age of 39. Arthur, a Super Bowl-winning defensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, considered pursuing a career in MMA during the 2011 NFL Lockout but ultimately decided to stick with football. He had a background in wrestling and trained in various martial arts disciplines during the offseason. Jon Jones credited his tough fighting mentality to growing up with Arthur, who he described as a “freak athlete.” Arthur’s death was related to a pre-existing heart condition, and his brothers have not publicly addressed his passing.
