UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones isn’t the only high level athlete in his family. His younger brother Chandler was just drafted in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the New England Patriots, and his older brother Arthur is already in the NFL, a defensive end for the Baltimore Ravens.

Arthur featured in the UFC’s Primetime series for the UFC 145 event, which saw the Champ take on former friend-turned-rival Rashad Evans in Atlanta. On Tuesday, the elder Jones decided to take in a UFC event not involving his brother, as he trekked to the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. for UFC on Fuel 3.

While there, he spoked with CSN Washington regarding his Champion brother and his upcoming bout with Dan Henderson.

“It’s a major match-up, you know, Hendo is a guy you can’t really sleep on, he’s old but he’s very explosive and he has knockout power so Jon just has to stick to the gameplan and everything’s going to be ok,” Arthur commented. “Youth and his ability to be creative [are in Jon's favor]. Jon is a hard guy to study for a fight and I think just his mindset and how he moves is going to be tough for him [Hendo].”

One other fight on his mind is one between Jones and UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva. While Jon has stated in the past that it’s not a fight he’s likely to want, Arthur says it’s one he’d enjoy seeing.

“They’re great friends and they have mutual respect,” Arthur said, while saying the fight wouldn’t actually happen. “I know Jon doesn’t want to hurt their friendship, you know, like how he did with Rashad [Evans], so, you know, I don’t think it will ever happen.”

“I wouldn’t mind seeing it though.”

Penick’s Analysis: This Jones family is a very talented bunch. Jon’s the highest profile member at the moment as the reigning UFC Champ, but Arthur and Chandler in the NFL is a big deal as well. Not too many families can claim multiple professional athletes at their respective levels. Arthur’s training in the offseason now consists of working with his younger brother in MMA training, and he’s clearly a fan of the sport in general as well.

For some reason, the welterweight bout between Amir Sadollah and Jorge Lopez was given co-main event booking on Tuesday’s UFC on Fuel 3 card, and after a very uninspired 15-minute fight, Sadollah took home a split decision win.

There wasn’t much to the fight from either fighter’s end, as it was contested mostly in the clinch with a few spurts on the ground and on their feet. Still, neither fighter established much offense, at least not enough to take a clear decision on the cards, and two of the judges decided Sadollah had edged two of the rounds.

Sadollah bounced back from a loss to Duane Ludwig, while Lopez has now lost two straight decisions in the UFC.

Fresh off a win over UFC newcomer Marcus LeVesseur on Tuesday at UFC on Fuel 3, Cody McKenzie is dropping to the featherweight division, and he’ll make a quick turnaround as well.

The UFC announced on Friday that McKenzie will take on the last title challenger at 145 lbs., Chad Mendes, at UFC 148 on July 7.

Mendes suffered his first career loss in his last bout, getting knocked out in the final seconds of the first round in a title fight against Jose Aldo at UFC 142 in January. It snapped an 11-fight winning streak for the Team Alpha Male product to kick off his career.

McKenzie’s victory over LeVesseur was his 13th career win, and snapped a two-fight losing streak in the organization. McKenzie’s last 11 wins have all come by guillotine choke in the first round.

Penick’s Analysis: This seems like an attempt to get Mendes back on track. McKenzie’s very good with the one trick he’s shown off, but he fades as fights go on, and he is very prone to takedowns. Mendes is an accomplished wrestler who will likely dominate that aspect of the fight, and he’s never been submitted or even really come close to being submitted before. It’s a major step down in competition from Aldo, but may still be a solid fight overall.

The UFC is trying to get B.J. Penn back into the cage, and they’ve got an opponent ready and waiting for him if he decides to take end his shaky retirement.

Josh Koscheck.

The 34-year-old, fresh off a close decision loss to Johny Hendricks at UFC on Fox 3 earlier this month, revealed on Twitter that the UFC had offered him a fight with Penn and that he has accepted it. In a bit of a public callout, and with Penn left to respond, Koscheck added, “let’s scrap, bra?”

A dejected Penn claimed he was likely retiring following a beating at the hands of Nick Diaz last October at UFC 137. The former two-division UFC Champ continued to hint that he would stay away from the cage in interviews over the last several months; however, last month, UFC President Dana White revealed that the UFC and Penn had been in conversations about him wanting to return.

If Penn accepts, the fight is likely to come in August or September, marking a 10 to 11 month hiatus for “The Prodigy.”

Penick’s Analysis: This is a fight that would definitely work well for Penn’s return. He fought Koscheck’s teammate and friend Jon Fitch to a draw last February, and depending on the shape in which he returns he could still be a formidable opponent. I’m sure many would like to see Penn get back to the lightweight division, but as he’s been out of action for months, his return was always likely to be at welterweight. I doubt he’s been keeping in tip top fighting shape when he’s been unsure if he was returning. Still, this is a solid, name value return fight and if he accepts it we’ll see how much he’s got left in the tank.

***image1***Two new fights have been added to the UFC on Fuel 4 event, as TheScore.com reports that light heavyweights Tom DeBlass and Nick Penner will square off on the card, while Rafael Natal revealed on Twitter Wednesday that he’s meeting Andrew Craig on the card.

The July 11 event is expected to come to the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif., headlined by a middleweight bout between Mark Munoz and Chris Weidman.

DeBlass made his UFC debut on short notice last month, taking on Cyrille Diabate at UFC on Fuel 2 in Stockholm, Sweden. The 30-year-old won his first seven fights, but dropped a decision to Diabate on 12 day’s notice. Penner took on Anthony Perosh in his organizational debut back in March, losing by TKO at the end of the first round. That defeat was just the second of his career, and snapped an eight fight winning streak.

After suffering a decision loss and fighting to a draw in his first two fights in the UFC, Natal has since picked up consecutive wins inside the Octagon. Most recently, he defeated Michael Kuiper by decision at UFC 143 in February. Craig made an impressive debut in March at UFC on FX 3, keeping his undefeated record intact with a decision win over Kyle Noke.
