LAS VEGAS — Mixed martial arts has had its “Prodigy” and its “Phenom.” Jon Jones may not have a nickname that so accurately captures his youthful brilliance or rapid ascent in the MMA world — he goes by “Bones” — but he appears every bit the next-level talent with the capabilities of dominating his weight class for the next decade.
Or maybe even longer.
“I think this kid has all the tools to be maybe the best ever someday,” UFC president Dana White said after Jones handed Ryan Bader his first career loss during a second-round submission win at UFC 126.
