I say this as someone who is pulling for Reyes.
Reyes one rounds 1-2. Round one should have been a 10-8 round.
Maybe Reyes won Round three, but it's hard to win a round where you're backing up the entire time.
Jones forced the action every minute of every round. That is what a CHAMPION is supposed to do. Reyes looked weaker, backed up the entire time, faded in the championship rounds, and did not look like the Victor at the end of the fight.
Had the fight been to the death, Jones would have won.
I respect Dominic Reyes, he is definitely a contender, but he did NOT beat the champion tonight. He backpedaled, yielded, gave ground, while Jon Jones moved forward, asserted himself, and confirmed that he was the champion in the ring tonight.
Nothing else needs to be said.
