Imagine a Jose Aldo that can wrestle. That'd be sick. I'm not convinced that Jones' standup is all put together yet. And I'm not sold on his submission skills being incredible (but, then again, there aren't really many guys who are going to challenge his submission game in that 205 pound division). Still, his wrestling and athleticism may very well be the best in the division, and that's definitely enough, if he's willing to learn, to make him the future of the division.

Even if he loses to O'Brien he will have a bright future in MMA because he has a lot of great tools at a young age. And since he has youth on his side, sports an undefeated record-never KO'ed . . . he fights and tries crazy manuevers like Urijah Faber- before his 1st fight against Mike Brown. *Read a number of Jones interviews, he seems ready to absorb more information and techniques. Oh by the way, Jones said, <b>"I wanna be the Jose Aldo of the UFC"</b> . . . can you imagine a LHW version of Aldo at the age of 21?
