Sad as I am to have seen Shogun go down, this is why Dana White and Joe Rogan talking about how MMA'ers are the best athletes in the world is comedic.
Jones and suga baby.. 
ecnedivorp - Ya Jones is not an A level athlete. If he was he would be in the NFL or NBA
maybe some peoples are not interrested in the NFL or NBA as a child? just a thought.....

his brother is in the nfl Jones could be if he wanted to.
Nah, his brothers were the real athletes. Art said Jon was the mist improved player his senior season, but wasn't on any radar for football. And he had two left feet for basketball.
Kid is an mma athlete.
There are plenty of A level athletes in the UFC. Just take any national ranked wrestler or GSP type. What Jones has so far is a superior A level mind.
The ability to be creative and loose without it translating into being sloppy and leaving himself vulnerable. Will there be someone who will be able to take advantage of his non-conservative style? Of course there will be. Pulling it off is gonna be the hard part.
agree w OP
obviously we can split hairs about who is and isn't "A level," but the point stands IMO
Jones is an A level fighter. He already said that he wasn't gifted in sports like his brother and that his body was meant for fighting. Just because he isn't an A level athlete doesn't detract from him being an A level fighter.
