re: UFC 128: Shogun vs. Jones

Jones' development in such a short time (started training 3 years ago) is pretty astonishing.

That's not to say that guys haven't jumped in and rose to the top quickly, but the way he has put together such a well rounded game is utterly impressive

BJ went from off the streets to one of the top mma grapplers in the world in 4 years, and that is considered incredible, but it still took him another 4 years or so to develop the boxing that really made him dominant

Jones went from decent wrestler, to having a top level ground game, top level striking AND, perhaps most importantly, the mental calm to be able to put that all together in creative and effective way against top level competition in 3 short years. Amazing
