Friday morning during the UFC 214 early weigh-ins, UFC light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier’s team was involved in a bit of a verbal spat with former light heavyweight kingpin Jon Jones’ brother, Arthur Jones.<\/p>\n

Arthur, the eldest Jones brother<\/a>, is a star in his own right. An NFL Defensive tackle standing at 6’3 and 320 pounds, Arthur Jones has won two Super Bowl championships, and been named to the All-Big East First NFL team twice over the course of his career. In addition, Arthur has been praised by Jon Jones for his fighting skills in the gym as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prior to the ceremonial UFC 214 weigh-ins on Friday, Arthur was involved in a bit of a verbal spat with Daniel Cormier’s team. He recalled the situation to MMAFighting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were like, \u2018The real champ\u2019 and all this other bullshit,\u201d Arthur Jones said. \u201cAfter a while, I got annoyed. I was like, \u2018Yeah, the paper champ.\u2019 We started jawing back and forth. They just walked away. It really wasn\u2019t nothing. People try to make a big thing out of nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have ragdolled all six of them \u2014 for the record,\u201d<\/p>\n

Arthur revealed that he heard one of the men making a crack at him, saying “fail another drug test”, a dig at Arthur failing an NFL drug test, something that didn’t sit too well with the NFL player.<\/p>\n

When asked what would have happened if Cormier himself got involved, Arthur stated:<\/p>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll slap his ass, too,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe called my brother a junkie and \u2018sandblasting prostitutes,\u2019\u201d Arthur said. \u201cMy brother has daughters. One day, they’re gonna have to watch this shit on YouTube and I don\u2019t appreciate it. My brother never disrespected his family, so don\u2019t disrespect my brother\u2019s family.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jon Jones will of course now have the opportunity to silence Cormier and his team tonight in the main event of UFC 214 in the pair’s highly anticipated rematch.<\/p>\n
