If you think you know "Bones," think again: Striking coach Mike Winkeljohn assures fight fans they 'haven't seen anything yet' as Jon Jones will soon be at the same place striking-wise as Anderson Silva. Quote: |
"Since he's come to camp, I'm real blessed that this young man listens and he went from being mostly a wrestler to now he's turning over to becoming a great striker in the division. He's almost there, he's almost to that Anderson Silva place where he is going to start getting those one punch and one kick knockouts. Just wait, you haven't seen anything yet."

I wonder how many years Anderson spent training striking? It seems to me a very arrogant assumption that bones is already almost at that level.

when you start winning striking battles with something other then 10 inches of reach advantage, we can talk about striking prowess.

Well, to be fair, Vinnie just said that sonnen will submit Jones off his back.
Much like career politicians, Coaches see the world through dollar-green-colored glasses, so you can't take anything they say even remotely seriously or you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

rh | Agreed. Comparing sonnen's jits to Belfort's is akin to comparing jones' striking to Anderson's.

I doubt it. I don't see him getting anywhere near Anderson's speed or accuracy and I really don't see him getting anywhere near the reacting time that Anderson has. I know Jones is a beast and he picks up things at a rapid pace but reaching that level is a bit of a dream.
