UFC 247: Jones vs. Reyes Results and Highlights

The Octagon returns to Houston tonight for UFC 247, a twelve-bout fight card headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes.

Jones (25-1 MMA) will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since July’s UFC 239 event in Las Vegas, where he etched out a split decision victory over Thiago Santos.

‘Bones’ reclaimed the UFC’s coveted light heavyweight title at UFC 232 in December of 2018, defeating Alexander Gustafsson by way of third round knockout.

Jon Jones will now look to defend his title against the divisions hottest contender in Dominick Reyes (12-0 MMA).

‘The Devastator’ earned a first round knockout victory over former middleweight title holder Chris Weidman in his most recent effort. Reyes also holds wins over Volkan Oezdemir, Ovince Saint Preux and Jared Cannonier during his time with the promotion.
