UFC 239 was headlined by two title fights, including Arizona Cardinals defensive end Chandler Jones’ brother, Jon Jones.

Chandler was a ringside presence for his older brother, who retained his title belt by beating Thiago Santos in a split decision, despite injuring his leg in the process.

The Cardinals’ Jones helped carry his champion brother out of the ring after receiving the belt and listening to Bruce Buffer bellow out the “and still!” call.

Chandler also helped his brother celebrate following the win on the champ’s party bus, dancing to Chingy’s 2003 hit song “Right Thurr.”

Jones was also present at the weigh-in event for his brother and has been a ring side presence for his brother in the past.

Jon Jones set a UFC record with his 16th consecutive win, tying a record set by Anderson Silva in 2012. It was also his 13th win in a title fight, tying a record held by Georges St-Pierre.
