Soooooo since Reyes "won" by decision… does he move up in the rankings or does Volkan just move down?! #AskingForAFriend #UFCLondon

Reyes won by a split. I have NO FUCKING IDEA HOW?! Did I watch a completely different fight?? Oezedemir definitely lost the 3RD. Looked like he took the RD off. But RD 1&2 were Volkans, IMHO. #UFCLondon

No offence to Reyes, but I don't think Jon is shaking in his boots (yet) after that performance, especially since Oz prob should have got the nod. #UFCLondon pic.twitter.com/IDBhVJ5X4S
