UFC star Jon Jones recently claimed the vacant heavyweight title against Ciryl Gane at UFC 285 and established himself at the top of the division’s food chain. While the UFC champion added another laurel to his boastful resume, he also exhibited the superior wrestling skills that are effectively employed by him since childhood. Notably, ‘Bones’ sharpened his splendid wrestling skills and techniques while wrestling with his two brothers. Despite his brothers venturing into the field of the NFL, both his brothers earned a name for themselves. Furthermore, the Albuquerque resident once expressed gratefulness to his younger brother, Chandler Jones, for not venturing into MMA as he faced the brunt of his brutal strength.
