Reyes clearly should have won 48-47 based on fightmetric having him ahead in striking for the first 3 rounds. However, many people point to his "lacerated, bleeding mouth" as damage from Jon Jones. Admittedly, this looked bad -- but he wasn't nearly as damaged as he looked.
This is bleeding from the mouth due to gingivitis. I've seen this before in karate and kickboxing -- some guys that don't floss and rinse with mouthwash get gingivitis, and when they get punched in the mouth it bleeds like crazy. It looks like they took a huge amount of damage -- similar to Colby's broken jaw mouth blood.
But in reality they weren't very hurt -- they just have poor oral hygiene.
