Former UFC champion Jon Jones shared an emotional tribute to his former NFL star brother Arthur, who died suddenly at age 39 in early October. On Thursday, Oct. 23, Jon shared a compilation video in memory of Arthur, who won a Super Bowl with the Baltimore Ravens in 2013, and penned a thoughtful caption.

It's been nearly three weeks since the tragic passing of former NFL defensive tackle and Super Bowl champion Arthur Jones. Jones comes from a family of well-known athletes, with his younger brother Jon "Bones" Jones being arguably the most famous of all.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones posted a moving tribute to his late brother, former NFL defensive tackle Arthur Jones.

A little less than three weeks ago, former Super Bowl champion Arthur Jones passed away suddenly at 39 years of age. The former Baltimore Raven was also the brother of UFC superstar Jon Jones and even got involved in one of Jon Jones’ most heated rivalries.

Arthur Jones was a key member of the Baltimore Ravens during their 2013 Super Bowl victory. The cause of his death remains officially unrevealed. In his heartfelt statement, Jon Jones honored his brother.

"The Jon Jones vs. Alex Pereira fight would probably be the biggest fight in human history. As a matchup, you have the greatest of all time in Jon Jones and arguably the most destructive striker that's ever competed. No one is like that guy 'Poatan.'"

Jon Jones has done the same, moving up to heavyweight after cementing his name as the greatest 205-pounder in UFC history, and now Alex Pereira is targeting a move up by calling out Jones for a historical clash at the White House on June 14, 2026.

Gane, who held the interim heavyweight crown, has struggled in recent outings, including a 2022 loss to Jon Jones
