He said he didn't take his wrestling career seriously. Started watching mindset videos like Les Brown and Tony Robbins when he started MMA. He lived in his girlfriend parents basement and watched Bas Rutten instructional DVD's. Doesn't have Power like Alex. Doesn't have Exposivness like Rumble. Colby said he was a party animal and Donald Cerrone said he was destroying guys when he first showed up and would barley be at practice. Jones might be 1/3000. He might have genius IQ too.
 
2 NFL brothers who he had to fight constantly. Plus a collegiate wrestling national championship you are skipping over.

Then went and trained at altitude with other Champs

imagine making your amateur debut and you get Jon fucking Jones

yep. genetically gifted athlete with a large wingspan and the mental fortitude to fight and to win.

most people don't want to acknowledge this: but genetics matter a lot more than training. the example i like to use is the 1 to 100 scale:

say man A has a 80 on the scale for natural athleticism, while man B has a 70 on the scale of natural athleticism. with hard and consistent training, man B could potentially get his athletic level up to 75. but would still never reach where man A is at (80) even if man A doesn't train a day in his life and just gets up off the couch and competes.

and then there is man C who is a 95 in natural athleticism. very few people are even coming close to said man even if they train hard and consistent since they were children.

when it comes to athletcism, some people are just born better. it all comes down to who your parents are and who your parents parents are and what your genetic lineage is

Natural abilities are nothing without dedication and perseverance, though. Perhaps all of the virtuouso pianists have long, slender fingers; it's certainly easier to play the piano with those than with stubby ones. But I guarantee you almost no one with long, slender fingers is a piano virtuoso. The ones that are got there through thousands of hours of practice.

And anyway, what would you expect? In a world where all the top athletes put in the same work doing rigorous training for hours and hours every day, who would you expect to rise to the top? The ones who do all that AND have a natural advantage beyond that, obviously.

What is athleticism? Is Jon an amazing athlete with better athleticism naturally than most? Or is his “athleticism” really just genetic physical features that are really superior for mma and he has an uncanny ability to use these physical traits better than most? I think it’s weird that people bring up athleticism so much. Is Tom Brady a phenomenal athlete? Those combine numbers blow away all the other qbs picked before him? There’s so much more to sports than raw athleticism. Whatever that even means these days. Jones is the greatest fighter in mma and yet nowhere near the greatest athlete.
 
I can't tell if OP is a liar or if he just believed Jon Jones' lies, but this thread is garbage and OP should be kicked in the balls.
 
From the moment he debuted in the UFC it was obvious that he's freakishly talented. It seemed like just a matter of time before he cleaned out the division, which he did.

The only thing he lacked was power, and it turned out that he didn't need that.

He might not seem like such a great athlete by today's standards, but back then, he was a level above most guys. Height, reach, speed, balance, coordination, reflexes, and above all, great fight IQ, he seemingly had everything.
