Biggest Rising Star In Mma, And the perfect martial artist........

"Bones Jones is the biggest rising star in mma". Numerous sources.....

 As we are entering a new era in mma, an era where all fighters have to be multi disciplined, creative, have unrivaled conditioning, and be completely dedicated. My view is that a new breed of athlete is emerging.

Gone are the days where a single disciplined athlete can rule the roost, the term "well rounded" has never been more prevalant than it is today, the UFC currently has multi skilled disciplinarian's as Lyoto, BJ, Georges, and Anderson,(in no particular order),and the simple unobliterated raw power of Brock and Carwin, (did i say multi disciplined???)........ Strikeforce has Gegard, Diaz and Fedor, WEC has Aldo etc etc, the list is endless.....

You could argue that mma has already entered the era of the super athlete, (which it obviously has, so its not an argument), but the thought behind this post is to distinguish between the current, and the future.

And apart from the above contradictions, who will, and who won't be the next big thing...........

The heavyweight division is the most interesting, because all of the other weight classes are ruled by technique, skill and athleticism, but the heavyweight division is ruled by pure power, i'm sure as alot of you would agree, that Brock, Carwin or Duffee, wouldn't do as well if they were competing against guys there own size, for example, can anyone see Brock competing with a Spider that cut 20lb to make 265......

Anyways, thats besides the point........

Who is the next big thing in mma? Who is flying under the radar? Who will blow our minds?
