Jon Jones makes no bones about MMA skills

When Jon Jones was a kid, he frequently was the first player chosen in pickup basketball games. By his own admission, though, that was a mistake. Jones is no basketball player.

With brothers Arthur and Chandler starring on the Syracuse University football team, he often was expected to be a star wide receiver or running back. But Jones chuckles and admits he’s lucky if he can catch one of every three balls thrown his way.

But Jones, who fights Jake O’Brien next month at UFC 100, soon moved from wrestling to MMA, where he found a natural talent for an exciting standup game.
