No injury roadblock to a rematch. It wasn't as clear live how much his legs were beat up. It might've been a reason his movement faltered as the fight progressed. Reyes was limping noticeably after the fight. The leg kicks will be one of the things his team will have to address, he was checking them less than Jones was. Hopefully we get the 2nd fight by Summer.
I'm getting kind of tired of people bitching about this. Should Reyes have won? Yes. Probably. He and Jones were both "playing stupid games" in the sense that neither one made a particular effort to finish the fight (especially in the later rounds). And Reyes won a stupid prize. Get over it. It's happened with GSP, Jones, Fedor, Cruz, Aldo if I remember correctly, just about every high profile champion has won a bad decision.
"MRI came back negative" Im glad he didnt suffer any serious injury Meanwhile Jon Jones is at home dancing and doing cocaine. Miles away from an hospital. Tells me everything i need to know
Yeah, a bruised leg is totally indicative of a lose. After all, the brain is in the femur, so this much damage shows he was rocked multiple times...
shows the level of mma striking in the higher weights when a fight at this level doesn't even have a single punch-kick combination despite the low kicks doing so well for both guys.
I'm not actually one of the ones that upset about the decision.. and Jones did chew up Reyes' legs.. but that post bugged me and I had to say something sarcastic
You're an idiot. Body mechanics doesn't let them fidget like a midget and transition their body weights well enough to have them do a lot of techniques that otherwise lighter guys don't have so much problem with.
