He wouldn't need to. He's faster, longer, quicker, and has better cardio than almost all of them. His pace will destroy most of them, and he'll certainly take the judges cards easily enough. Elbows, knees, his knee-destroying kicks, the leg kicks in general...
Jones ain't a power guy. Since he beat Chael in that squash match like 6-7 years ago, he has only 1 stoppage, and that was the 2nd Gustafsson fight, 2 if you count the NC where he stopped Cormier, and that was from a head kick that turned DC's brain to mush, and the fight ended soon after. He won 7 decisions in that time. Because he's a really smart fighter in a great camp who can adjust to anything, he's way more likely to finish someone the 2nd time he fights them than the first.
Jones doesn't go toe to toe with anyone power-wise, because he never has to.
