Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) 205-pound number one contender Rashad Evans talks a lot about the advantages he had over reigning division champion Jon Jones while they trained together at Jackson's MMA in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

"Bones" has a simple explanation.

When the lanky-but-lethal light heavyweight first joined the world's largest fight promotion, he walked around at 210 pounds. Fast-forward to his UFC 145 title fight against Evans on April 21, 2012 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia, which spans 10 fights inside the Octagon, and Jones now walks around as high as 230 pounds.

And as he tells MMA Fighting, Evans will notice the difference right away.

"In the past, one of Rashad's main advantages over me was that he was more seasoned and a lot more stronger than I was. When I first joined the UFC, I never really cut weight, I came in extremely thin. Walking around at 213, 210. Now I walk around at almost 230 at times. I'm just a lot more mature in my body and physical strength. I think that's gonna be a huge difference for him and he's gonna feel it right away."
