The problem being, Johnson seldom fights on his back. He's freakishly strong, and has an 85 percent takedown defense. If that's not the best in the business, it's damned near close. Jones relies on his reach, which I think Johnson can absolutely neutralize. His charge is deadly, especially in the early rounds.
I think Jones definitely has the endurance though. A huge red flag on Rumble going into the Gustaffson fight was that he would peak within the first round or two. Luckily, when you have the KO power he has, that's all you need.
