Jon Jones Gets Embarrassed On The Grid Iron

Missed The Family Memo

For a guy who comes from serious football bloodlines the brother of former NFL standouts Chandler Jones and the late Arthur Jones it became pretty clear why Jon ultimately chose fighting over football.

To be fair, there is context. Earlier this week, Jones revealed that he’s dealing with severe arthritis in his hip, to the point where he already qualifies for a hip replacement. Watching him hobble down the field in the video, that explanation checks out.

So no, this doesn’t change Jones’ legacy inside the octagon even a little. But as far as flag football goes? Even the most die-hard Jones supporters might want to look away.

Favoring His Hip

All jokes aside, when Jon Jones came out of his break, he was clearly favoring his hip and in light of what he’s revealed recently, that shouldn’t be dismissed as nothing.

For a fighter whose greatness was built on mobility, leverage, and control, a compromised hip isn’t just another injury it’s potentially career-ending. And that’s something fans, promoters, and even Jones himself may have to reckon with sooner rather than later.
