With even Dana saying that he had the fight scored for Reyes and the judges being called out all fucking night here, can we please get Jones vs Reyes in a state with good judging. LHW can wait for their shot after this fight gets run back tbh.
he should go to HW now, based on his last performances the goat´s stock is not going any higher. the ufc should capitalize and make jones vs miocic and it will make good numbers. if jones win, then jones vs ngannou would be massive.
Not sure how you can say that? The fight was close but the outcome was clear as day. Rd 1, 2 & 3 were clearly Reyes as there was only striking and he clearly outstruck him. Jon clearly won the 4th & 5th by outstriking him and had 1 TD each round but Reyes got up from both and there was no control or damage. Close fights can still be clear and that was a 48-47 Reyes all day long. If Jon had clearly won 3 rounds and lost a ridiculous BS decision I would have just as much problem with it.
Unless Reyes can finish Jones, there is simply no point. Jones will never be beaten in a majority of judge’s eyes. Take that how you will.
No, all 3 judges scored it for Jones and Reyes tried to run away from the fight halfway through. Next challenger please!
I think a rematch as their next fight should happen, but the thing is if it happens too soon I think Jones has a better shot of winning. Reyes needs time to get his cardio up. One of the things that played into the judging was how tired Reyes looked after about a minute and a half into the 3rd round. That was a turning point and while Reyes did land more than Jones in that round, Reyes began looking pretty exhausted and spent way too much time back peddling away from a more aggressive Jones. Yes Jones turned, backed way off and reset a few times, but the difference was Jones IMMEDIATELY began moving forward and walking down Reyes again and Reyes just kept back peddling. Reyes also can't afford to slow down the pace to fight 5 rounds. That favors Jones. Reyes either needs to take out Jones early or somehow gain the cardio to keep the pace of the first 2 rounds over the course of 5.
I think so. I mean, it's obvious they are the top 2 dogs right now. If not reyes/Jones, then reyes/santos or santos/jones 2. I truly think santos can beat jones, minus the knee injury, I think he would have.
I loved the way that Reyes showed a real talent vs an awkward roid infested eye poking cheater and fuck the UFC or the new company! It was awesome seeing a real athlete showing some of the best skills I’ve seen against the sneakiest dirtiest fighter ever! That was so gratifying!!!
He won the fight. He doesn't deserve the rematch. He deserves the fight to be overturned. Jon deserves the rematch.
