MIAMI – Dominick Reyes and Jon Jones continue to go back-and-forth on their competitive title fight in 2020.
Reyes (14-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) gave Jones arguably his toughest test to date when he lost a controversial decision in their light heavyweight title fight at UFC 247. Reyes is still adamant that he was robbed, and hasn’t hesitated to mention that whenever he’s asked during his media obligations.
UFC heavyweight champion Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC) is tired of hearing that narrative, firing back at Reyes on numerous occasions, most recently when Reyes claimed he’s both mentally and physically stronger than him. Jones mocked Reyes by saying that he would perhaps have a chance to beat him in a rock, paper, scissors contest.

But no matter what Jones says, Reyes is confident that the majority think he should have gotten his hand raised that night.
“In regards to Jon Jones, we’re locked in this moment of time, in history, forever – whether he likes it or not,” Reyes told MMA Junkie and other reporters Wednesday at UFC 314 media day. “That’s just the bottom line.
It was a legendary fight. It’ll go down in history as a legendary performance by myself, and he’s not happy that people forever are going to say that he didn’t win that fight. Whatever he has to say is what he has to say, but I know who I am, what I am, and what happened, and that’s the end of that.”
Since losing to Jones, Reyes has struggled. He went on to lose another three fights in a row, before getting back on track with back-to-back knockouts of Dusitn Jacoby and Anthony Smith. He returns against Nikita Krylov (29-9 MMA, 11-7 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 314 main card opener from Kaseya Center (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+).
