When it is completely written, the story of Jon Jones will be a wistful one. It will focus on his greatness, to be sure. Any look at Jones’ career would be empty without notation of his otherworldly skills and dominance over the best fighters his division had to offer.
But his story will also be one of greatness and potential squandered.
This is the frustrating thing about Jones. He is easily the most talented fighter the sport has ever seen, using an array of technical wizardry that continues to amaze even after a decade on the big stage.
