Jones loses big money to brother in UFC 198 wagers
Jon Jones isn't the only member of his family making money on mixed martial arts.
A lively UFC 198 card on Saturday apparently had Jones and his brother, Arthur, in a betting mood.
Arthur is a defensive tackle for the Indianapolis Colts and he had no problem putting the hurt on his little brother's bank account.
"Bones" put $500 a piece on Nate Marquardt, Matt Brown, Vitor Belfort, and Fabricio Werdum. All four ended up losing, much to Arthur's delight:
@JonnyBones @Artj97 Oh damn. Art $500 | Bones $0
