I watched this a few times and the shots they call for Jon being tagged he wasn't really hit he just slips a large percentage of the shots especially in round 1

[@ryanbohle4953]

Hanief I totally agree. He only got hit clean maybe a handful of times. All the rest were either slipped by Jones or glancing blows.

[@crashboredom2]

Theres a whole flurry in round 2 where reyes is chasing him and throws about 15 punches. Jones dodged and blocked all of them.

[@staceysingletary]

😂😂😂 it’s mma not boxing. Forward progress, aggression, and takedowns all count for points also. In rounds he was out struck he still controlled the center of the cage POINTS, he still got takedowns POINTS, and he also pushed the tempo only getting hit with counter strikes cuz Reyes kept backing up n countering.

I've enquired for an MMA judging course here in Blighty as for the past 4 years the decisions have been getting worse... and all the competitors who give their all deserve judges to get a correct decision. A bad decision can change the trajectory of ones career and could mean the difference between poor and rich.... getting the wrong scoring from a judge *is not* acceptable in my eyes

[@meatball4409]

It's a good thing they didn't get the judging wrong

[@tykanus3607]

LMAO

[@Angie-yv7ws]

I agree. That 49-46 the judge scored for Jones vs Reyes was insane. I also think that Derrick Lewis lost in my opinion. During one of the prelim fights, Joe mentioned that one of the judges wasn’t paying attention to the fight and was looking at the floor.

[@TwinCitiesOutdoors]

Agreed. Could be the difference of poor or rich for these athletes. Massive factor when CTE cases are on the horizon for the sport.

[@Carlito_Brigante]

49-46 was blasphemous, but 48-47 in Jon’s favor was the right call. I don’t see why people are complaining this much. The other fight where the judge scored 30-27 against Martinez was the real travesty. It actually affected the outcome greatly and lost the man this fight.

Nah. Jones is a long time champ, and he has the right not to rematch. Let's not forget that Reyes was also gifted a W against Volkan, so he shouldn't even be here if we are trying to be fair. He should fight the winner of Corey v Jan or rematch Volkan.

Jon's defense is still on point for sure, he was dodging and blocking so many strikes. I think Jon landed the overall hardest hits too.. even in rounds Dominick won, Jon landed some bombs.

Because Texas uses the old rules when scoring fights. Octagon control was a big deal back before Nevada and other athletic commissions changed the rules.

[@profileone5655]

Just rewatched the fight. No commentary and no crowd reactions. I scored it Round 1: reyes (pretty much nullified Jones game and made Jones chase him not pressure but chase) Round 2: draw (Reyes had that flurry of shots but 90% of which missed or were blocked, Jones controlled the pace and pressured Reyes). Round 3: draw (Reyes connects with some good shots actually wouldn’t really argue if Reyes wins this round) Round 4: Jones (best round back and fourth but I’d say Jones won due to pressure and some nice connected shots) Round 5: Jones (takedowns for Jones, Reyes slowed down significantly, Jones was easily able to edge the w for this round)

[@andrewSUN17]

Hey guys does anyone ever consider that Jones is by now an open book for a new up and comer to study? So, it's easier for new guys to have a chance to exploit him. And also that Jones is based way harsher on his fights due to his past history of fights? What if it were two new guys? Results would be analyzed differently and then who would be considered the winner? And would Dom seem so sore in losing? Who knows. Another thing to note was that Bones was almost always pushing Reyes back who was seemingly out of the center of the octagon.

[@lostwon979]

Dominic Cruz said it at the end of the fight. The WRESTLING was important and awarded in the point system because it aided in draining Reyes’s energy. It contributed greatly to Reyes gassed performance in the 4th and the 5th. It doesn’t matter that he didn’t advance position after the take down. It matters that Jon’s will of shooting a takedown was stronger than Reyes’s will to stop it. Any offensive tool used should render a score, if it was effective. That includes tiring your opponent by making him get back to his feet.

[@alyx1715]

Those takedowns are what gassed Reyes. Coming into the 5th Reyes was done. Had there been a 6th round it's hard to argue that reyes wouldnt have been finished.

John Jones was going to win that fight if there was a sixth or seventh round he had plenty of gas in the tank. That being said that’s not how this game works. Reyes took the first three rounds he should have won.

[@archiehickox6518]

"Jon Jones would have won that fight if his brothers were to jump in at some point. That being said that's not how this game works."

[@pastafarian87]

I had Jon winning based off of his control of the center and his pressure.

[@clockworkman8210]

but that makes no sense as they both know its only 5 rounds, reyes made sure he won 3 rounds and fight got away from jon, judges saved him

[@jplatinum2914]

Comic Wharf But...but...Jon was more accurate😜with his strikes. That’s got to matter. Ring generalship. Devastating takedowns. Amazing cardio.😂🤣😂

[@joshjohnson5839]

The winner of Corey vs . Blach faces Jones for the belt. Dom R. vs. Tiago S. for the next title shot. Only because both of their fights were super close. Then after this year Jon makes the move to heavyweight to fight the big boys

[@damiena1478]

Personally I'd rather see Xhang go up to Shevchenko over Shevchenko going up to Nunes. They are much more similar in size and it would be a great fight if Xhang beats Joanna

[@Beiskraft]

The agressor argument is stupid. With Jones' knee kicks Reyes did a phenomenal job with moving around and back to disrupt the rythm

[@harvestblades]

Fedor is past his prime, but I would love to see the GOAT of a previous generation vs arguably the GOAT fighting at HW. It's just a pipedream, but it would be great to see, and a good entry fo Jones into HW.

[@ThiCityProductions]

That was it Dan?! Usually the breakdown is so much more in depth.

[@mattmatthews4274]

Got uppercut got couple John's chin should have been weighed much higher than a takedown in but scooping back up

[@Youngsavge-or2ro]

Good fight. There should be more Draws in the UFC

[@johnbaddoghellno7751]

have a look at Luke Thomas pod cast of this Reyes Jones fight he explains it best why Jones won it has to do with the rules in Texas

[@clockworkman8210]

reyes is champ in my book, they just gave it to jones because of his brand and the record, apart from that he lost fair and square robbery

[@user-fd5gp4xv4z]

Fair and square Jones won😂

[@spookshow6999]

Well that question went right over his head. The damn judges did use those pitiful take downs against Reyes.

[@mrhaun5339]

That guy just wants jones tomget beat lmao Thats why he want him to movie up

[@tomwarnock9266]

Loving nicks socks, talk about making yourself at home.

[@justinfogelsonger4769]

I like journalist that can just say who they think won Joe rogan and Dominic Cruz just complain about the judges but won't say who won score by rounds 3-2 Reyes

[@ryankeels4661]

They show a graphic stating Reyes had more total significant strikes then the gent on the left says Jon out struck him overall but not round by round

[@michaelraymond1279]

These guys are the best! Dan is the man!!

[@gerrytessier2057]

Agreed on the takedown. Lunging at a tired fighter and taking him down, with no control, no damage, and then he's back up again... that's not good wrestling. In my view, any fighter who can continuously pop back up, neutralizing the effort every time, deserves a greater score than the cow-tipping fighter.

[@floydthewolf2039]

And for everyone saying the takedowns won him the fight... what about Latifi with over a round of control, granted he didn’t transition or do much but neither did jones but with 0 control time.

[@slXD100]

and the funny thing is, the only damage taken from a takedown was an elbow from reyes when he got up, i think it was the second one..

[@qislegit.donttrustthemedia6232]

*Jon's corner told him going into the 4th/5th rounds that he needed a finish! Go back and listen to the corner audio!!*

[@TheBTEAMwins]

People love a juicy knockout or a submission. If it goes the distance and looks VERY obvious for example Woodley VS Usman., that was VERY 1 sided. This was close but he didn’t do enough imo to become champion

[@wilsonsmanz]

I have a question. I thought that the championship rounds have more weight than the first 3. Am I wrong?? If I am then why do they even call them the championship rounds

[@Eksto]

Because before all the UFC main events were 5 rounders, only championship fights would last 5 and not 3 rounds, so the last 2 were special rounds only in championship fights. And no, the last 2 do not have more weight.

[@wilsonsmanz]

@@Eksto OH. Thanks. I didnt know that.

[@marcoscovarrubias6013]

Are yall going to have a open mat for Saturday Fight Night 167, The Prospect Nathaniel Wood is going to fight :) 🥋🥊

[@adamzoubi96]

Dan changes his haircut more often than UFC makes events

[@4thQuarterMentality]

I believe that they counted those takedowns because it forced Reyes to change his gameplan somewhat and thus probably costing him the fight.
