Who says Jon Jones is a C level athlete?

[bad seed]

Conor Bless

and he was FIFTY years old at the time. Incredible.

brb chiseling Herschel statue in his honor.

 

[CannotWin]

Because they're top level athletes that make more money than their UFC CHampion brother

His name is Arthur btw. Non-NFL Fan exposed

Damn.

Go easy on them, dude!

 

[Hemmmmmo]

that time when true A-level talent graced this sport. He showed us a glimpse of a better world and we must be forever grateful.

Looks a little bit better than your average 47-year old

 

[Escabar]

This man has loads of statues in Brazil, Japan etc

 

[johndhi]

ask hendricks what? he's a great wrestler and was champ, and arguably still should be champ.

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

I think he was better at football, either way the guy was ridiculous.

He was a track and field stand out as well


Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete ever.

A-level athletes:

are you new here?

cuz runners are only elite up to 800m.

Two of Jon Jones brothers play in the NFL

Then why doesn't he

He's an ectomorph and Arthur is an endomoprh and Chandler is a mesomorph. The NFL is mostly endomorphs and mesomorphs. The few ectomorphs are mostly WR and CB. Besides that, Jones was never really into ball sports. Arthur wrestled, but he was into football and was able to make it into the highest level of that sport. Arthur probably couldn't even make 265 to fight in the UFC.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

I'm 6'0 and when I played sports in high school I could dunk a basketball.

That clip is kinda pathetic to be honest.

U ever see a wrestler try and throw a baseball. It's kinda the same thing.

Why doesn't Al and Chandler fight in the UFC? Same stupid question

Because they're top level athletes that make more money than their UFC CHampion brother

For what it's worth, both of Jones' brothers claim that Jon makes more money than them. They could be lying I suppose, but that's what they claim. Of course, it's harder to tell what MMA fighters make compared to other pro athletes. We know exactly what Arthur and Chandler get paid, but the vast majority of Jon's income is undisclosed.

Note: I believe they claimed that Jon gets paid more before Arthur signed a pretty big contract with the Colts. When both brothers were on their rookie contracts (where you don't get paid as much in most cases), it was easier to believe.

Oh, so he doesn't have the dominant genetics his brothers do and arbitrary rules about weight are the only thing keeping his A-Level older brother from wrecking the UFC's heavyweight division where guys like Hunt and Nelson are in the top 10

Roger that.

You're right in your last paragraph; Chandler still had his rookie contract as well

I guess you could say that.

Sorry about that. Let me correct my mistake.

It'll be interesting to see how much his brothers make in the NFL and how much Jon makes, as MMA salaries will surely continue to go up over time. It'll also be interesting to see if the salaries become more and more disclosed, either officially or unofficially.

 

[SuperLuigi]

Apparently all the money is in MMA and thus it has the real A level athletes lol:

Jim Thorpe was another on that level.

Chandler's new contract is going to put Arthur and Jonathan to shame imo.

Year and a half ago when Art hadn't signed his Colts contract, 33 million, 10 mil this past year alone and Chandler was still on his base contract.

Jones also had his major sponsors before they dropped him.
Nice try
