The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl just over a week ago, and they have been celebrating ever since. UFC fighter Jon "Bones" Jones was in attendance at the big game because his brother, Chandler, is one of the stars for the New England defense.

Chandler made headlines this week, however, when he made some comments about his UFC fighter brother. According to TMZ, Chandler has called out his big brother, saying that he is ready, willing, and able to step into the octagon with Bones, and adds that he is 100 percent confident that he could win the fight.
"Me and my brother used to fight all the time when we were young ... and I'm pretty sure I can take him down now. I am way bigger than he is," Chandler tells us. Here is the tale of the tape between the two brothers:

Bones is the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion, and he is considered one of the best - if not the best - pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He has also mentioned that if he clears the light heavyweight division (which he has nearly done), that he may be interested in moving up to heavyweight.
In that regard, fighting Chandler would be some good practice for Jon. And Chandler insists that he is serious about the fight, saying he would like to set up the match and have the benefits go to charity.
"It will be fun if we actually did a one-round match for charity ... that would be fun," says Chandler. "If I win, he would have to donate to the charity of my choice and vice versa."
As for his strategy against his brother, Chandler said, "I would just throw him to the ground."
Chandler does admit that the match would be a longshot, however. "I don't know how my coach would feel about it," he said. "I don't think it would fly."
