So which of these two fighters has the better conditioning? The only reason why Evans can be given the nod here is because we have seen him go the distance many more times than Jones has.

Evans has gone the distance nine times in his career, while Jones has only done so twice. While this can be attributed to the difference in skill between Jones and his opponents, it can still be said that we have not seen the conditioning of "Bones" be truly tested yet.

However, Evans, if he is given a shot at the hypothetically victorious Jones, would be coming off a massive respite in fighting his last fight was in May —and an injury. It is totally possible that his cardio may not be what it should. When all things are considered, it is impossible to give the edge in conditioning to either man.

Rashad Evans is unfortunate enough to have a picture of him unconscious, bloody and quite frankly looking like a zombie circulating all over the Internet thanks to Lyoto Machida. Out of respect to Evans, it won't be placed in this slideshow although any MMA fan worth their salt knows what I'm talking about. Jon Jones is a fighter who has long enough reach and strong enough strikes to put Evans down and keep him there.

Nevertheless, Jones' chin has not been tested, but this will likely change in his fight against Shogun. Even if it does turn out that Jones does have a suspect chin, it is doubtful that Evans is the one to put Jones' lights out. This is due to the reach difference and the fact that the only people that Evans cleanly knocked out were Forrest Griffin, Chuck Liddell, Sean Salmon and Jason Lambert—two fighters with less than stellar chins and two journeymen who aren't even with the UFC.

This one is obvious. Simply put, Jones would have access to better training partners and better coaches. Thus, he will be better prepared and have a better game plan.
