    Co-Signed. At the same time, he looked calm and relaxed, even when he knew he was gassed, which was a good sign.

    Yeah, he looks like he has a lot of potential. It's always good to see new young talent. He is in a tough division and can't always be too flashy because if he makes a mistake it could cost him.

    Machida peppered him as well, but that was also a young Machida. I can never downplay Machida. Hes got the best tactic in combat sports. Although I must say, Jon Jones is the future of this sport. This is what Im talking about when I seem abit negative about GSP. Jon Jones has that X factor..Im seeing things Ive never seen in the Octagon. You cannot wait and you wouldnt know what to expect ala Anderson or BJ at LW. Its like what is he going to do next???

    His cardio isnt an issue, hes just a KID and probably thinks he doesnt need it, He can definitely improve that with some conditioning work. His demeanor and calmness is very good for his age.

    Is an issue if he doesnt improve it. Stephan Bonnar is a gatekeeper a very good one and when you beat him you get step ups in class 205 isnt exactly very thin hes going to need to work on it once he starts fighting top guys.

    Now that's he's starting to make a name for himself, I'm sure he will be moving to a bigger camp in the near future. But it would be awesome to find where he's currently working and get a few workouts in. I need to do some research though :good

    If it's true that he can pick things up just from watching then he's more talented than I thought. In my experience pulling off something that slick requires months of repetition in the gym. I truly believe Bones Jones could turnout to be the best MMArtist of all time.
