We know Jon Jones' advantages, ranging from fight IQ, to reach, to illegal steroids, but let's look at the advantages for Reyes:
*Foot speed
*Hand speed
*Lateral movement
*Power in the hands
*Technical boxing
*Athleticism
*Youth
Sound familiar?
Reyes is perfectly capable of stopping the takedown like both Gus and Santos. Jon's output has slowed drastically and he doesn't even seem keen for wrestling anymore probably due to being 'off steroids' and lacking the inhuman pace and gas tank that he had in his prime.
When you combine the game plans of Gus 1 and Santos, Reyes has a clear path to victory:
Outmaneuver Jones with foot speed and lateral movement. Make him miss.
Counter with speed and power, return kick for kick
Make Jones pay if he overextends an attack or moves backwards in a defensive shell
Outstrike Jon over 5 rounds and land the harder shots.
If he can hurt Jon, don't let him off the hook, finish the fight.
People sleeping on Reyes' chances if he fights smart
