If you consider Jon Jones to be the greatest UFC fighter of all time, that’s fine. I disagree (it’s Georges St-Pierre for me), but if you think it’s Jones, OK. And while he might be the GOAT of mixed martial arts, when it comes to playing football, Jones stinks.
Think that’s too harsh? Then watch this highlight from a Super Bowl-week celebrity flag football game held Thursday at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, where Jones was absolutely cooked trying to cover NBA legend Dwight Howard on a post route (via X).
The brother of two NFL standouts in Chandler Jones and the late Arthur Jones, I guess we know why Jon was the only one not to choose football.
