Remember Jones vs. Reyes

- In February 2020, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones looked to defend his title against a young contender named Dominick Reyes. Jones is considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, and a victory would see him surpass Georges St-Pierre for most victories in title fights. The confident Reyes gave Jones all he could handle in a fight that lives on in UFC history. #jonjones #dominickreyes #shorts #ufc

His career could've been so different its actually so sad
The only difference would’ve been that he was a champ. Obviously I huge difference, but he wouldn’t of held it for long tbh, same way glover didn’t and Jiri probably won’t
@@Matthew92971 We'll never know what kind of Impact beating Jones (GOAT) would've had on Reyes. It could've gone both ways tbh.
I understand what ur saying but even with all his loses he made it the the top of the sport and fought for the belt something 99.9 % of us will never do. His peak was quick but at least he had one
@@user-yg1hu6bo3y no you have to beat the champ if the fights even the champ gets it they fight the best at there best in sacrafice wanna win dont leave it in the hands of the judges .
@@user-yg1hu6bo3y told you , jiri lost the belt already
“Our rematch is gonna be epic”
Here we are almost 3 years later. Jon hasn’t fought since that night and Reyes hasn’t won since
Our rematch is gonna be epic"
Jones also Vacates title and moves up to heavyweight 🤣
Very interesting comment I had to look it up but yes you were right
Jones found out how fragile he is.
@@joshl5658 he hasn't moved to heavyweight , that's until he actually fights at heavyweight .
He was just scared he lost that fight😂
The judges had their eyes closed during the entire fight
Demetrious Johnson too? He also says Jon won.
@@D12Minhe’s wrong
@@D12MinDj also said Anthony Joshua would beat Nanganou in MMA
They are not going to end decade long legacy just because Domenic the pussy scored few points more , u gotta take the belt to win not let judge to decode
@@diegovazquez3566No way. I’ll need proof for that. Drop the link of the video where he said that
fun fact: 5 years ago reyes was the IT guy for my high school, he was the guy you go to for running in problems with your chrome books or any computer problems. everyone always wondered why he was so huge & buff & dealing with computers😂 here he is fighting in the UFC what a man
@@omareissa1851 yeah cus i’m just so bored & wanna make that up🤣🤣you’re goofy & he has his own mma spot called “cage combat” in hesperia around the block from me
@@omareissa1851damn you can read?
Here he is winning convincingly against the “goat” of mma
Now he's got 4 loses to his name wonder if he's still "that guy" 😂😂
@@lumpex36 definitely is lol
Reyes left a piece of himself in the octagon that night and hasn't looked the same since.
I honestly think that his decline is due to the brutal knockouts he received. Jones didn't hit him all that much; just wore him out.
😔😔😣
No i think its from prochazka
This is so incredibly weird that people think this.
@@leeham6230 it's the fact that he faced Jones and was his equal, then went into fights with killers like Yan and jiri, not expecting anyone as deadly as Jones....
Sad to see Reyes fall from the top now.
He main goal was Jon jones. I think he wanted to beat Jon jones more than the belt tbh. Now Jon gone his motivation gone as well
@@mmafacts3769 Good take.
He seems happier now tho. Happiness can destroy your killer instinct
@@mmafacts3769 same with Gustafson after he realized he will never beat Jones. Thiago Santos also took only Ls
@@jakerojas4756 he's gonna be a vegetable on a wheelchair, Jones never wanted the rematch he just waited till reyes got eaten up by top contenders and that's what happened.. Rip
Sad how judges can change the entire trajectory of someones life with one bad decision
48-47 for both guys is very respectable. It is a hell of a close fight, but not a blatant robbery.
He changed his own trajectory because of his mindset after the fight.
@@afkardhiyaulhaq5882 yea it could have gone either way, and im not even a Jones fan, but you gotta beat the champ to be the champ. I dont like islam either and im mad at Alexander for not going 100% at it...
He shouldve won and Jones would have lost if Domenick put on a little more presure.
Coman Jones even came out unscaved...
Wasn’t a bad decision. And he changed the trajectory of his own life with his mentality after the fight. Your brain is fucked if that was a serious comment
@@TN_vigilance what
Anyone who steps in the octagon with Jones deserves all the respect.
Or drives on the same roads
Because they have to fight a cheater
Anyone that steps in the octagon deserves respect if he is not "playing " dirty.
Anyone know the name of the beat btw?
Ok but then why doesn't Jones want to step in the Octagon with Pavlovich then??? He wants an easier opponent for his last fight. Pavlovich would probably beat Ngannou, that is why he left the UFC ffs. He knew it.
Yeah, huge respect for stepping inside that cage with this drug abusing cheater.
"Did they score a Knockdown for Reyes? No. Did he knock Jon Jones down? That's open to interpretation."
- Chael P Sonnen probably
Lmfbo
@@mma1st105 why butt?
But where does Bo nickel come into all of this?
Just to clarify, the moment in this clip wasn't a knockdown. Jon is throwing a kick and is clearly off balance.
jon jones knockdown himself lel
that was an AMAZING fight, in real time I gave it to Reyes. You could see in Jon's face even he wasn't convinced he won the decision until he heard it.
Jon’s won just accept it😂
@@USandGlobal you don’t have to pretend he’s salty when he’s just giving a reasonable opinion, you’re acting like a kid
@nickaustin8050damage trumps all and in that aspect it was clearly reyes
@nickaustin8050 Don't understand MMA? Boxing judges are deciding the score. Stop acting like you have some profound knowledge that no one else has goofball lol
Jon won deal with it Reyes is garbage juice
He whooped Jon's ass. The only one to do it. Dominik Reyes.
No he didn’t
It was a close fight and could have went either way but he didn’t “whoop Jon’s ass” lol. But let’s not act like if Jon took him more seriously and decided to wrestle more he wouldn’t have beaten the dude easily.
@@Drako-bf2uvjons Is so trash in this fight lose every round and win😂 jons no beat a real fighter in all Carrer. Prochacka and pavlowich he nonstay One round
Alexander Gustafson had a way with him too. I think those two fights were so close... They are the least should have been a split decisions.. but they favored Jon
@@jeremyg8286you clearly didnt watch the fight, jon tried to wrestle him multiple times but couldnt keep him down
It's like the MMA Gods gifted Reyes with the ability to push Jon to the brink, but in return he had to give 80% of his fighting ability up forever afterwards. The saddest thing is, Dom wasn't even awarded for his performance, and now it seems as if he will never be the same. Jan cracked his chin, Jiri absolutely destroyed it, and Ryan Spann took what was left of it.
Why did Jones have so much trouble with him? Was Reyes actually that good that night? Was Jones off? No where near Jones’ usual performance and Reyes could never duplicate.
@@chrislivingstone1843Jones has always had problems dealing with people his own height. Nothing new
JJ calling someone immature is too ironic
ksi?
@@dooomswear3034the shoe fits him as well.
@@dooomswear3034 deji
@Sam Linkin well both, but hypocritical fits better, but you're wrong for saying wrong lmao
OFFICER NERD
Reyes wasn't only robbed of a belt that night but robbed of his will to keep beating asses. Keep your head up Ozzy
Got his ass whooped and hast been the same
Casual
Lol , thats not getting robbed, thats getting EMOTIONAL DAMAGE , 4 fight 4 loss
Jones is talented,insane fight IQ but bro always had the system with him
The one and only organisation that doesnt favour fighters is the ufc, many bad decisions as in all sports and its opions at the end of the day. This wasnt a robbery it was close. Gustaffson fight was closer. When you break it down rewatch it you can understand the decision
@@thomasburke2497 bro actually wasn't disqualified after continuously eyepoking
@@goat7728 continuously? relax lol
Jon jones changed this guy. He got a lucky decision and should’ve lost but Reyes couldn’t get over that mental block which is unfortunate.
Nah. Jones won. You have to have a clear win if ur taking the title away from someone.
@@TheMilo246 winning 3 rounds is 🤣
@@iFROS7 according to who
@Death Creepz not the judges for the fight anyway
@@TheMilo246 🤡🤡
Reyes and Gustafsson both gave all they fighting spirit in they title shot and zeroed out ….
Against a dude full of roids
Gustafson, Reyes, Santos, machida, shogun, all went downhill after bones fought them. Man's a legend
Judges screwed Reyes...but truth be it...he would've lost the belt quickly
Naw
@@Luffy78-21 Jiri decimated him. Don’t forgot who the current champ is lmao.
@@Alcatraz509 he actually looked good against Jiri, which makes it sadder that he now has james vick syndrome
@@Alcatraz509no one is champ rn
@@Alcatraz509 and jan
If Reyes didn't literally STOP FIGHTING , he would've got the Decision.
a rematch will be amaizing with different outcomes
Jones calling someone else immature is the funniest thing ever.. almost like when he called DC a crack head after HE was on coke
Its called projection
Well, to be fair, he was on coke, not crack.
@@KiLlACaMrOn94 at still beat his ass twice
Coke is high class and you can't be a crack head from doing Coke. Crack heads smoke cut fucked up whack coke that gets em high for moments. Cokes a rich man's drug.
Neither are okay. But If you put a full crack head against a full blown ❄️ bunny your winner will be crack , coming from ky.
Reyes hasn't been the same since. And he almost won. Respect
no he won lol thats the point
Jones isn’t the reason why Reyes declined though, he barely took any damage in that fight.
@BlackHairSupremacy I know, but I just don't know how you can do that well against Jones, one of the greats, and then get starched a few times and drop off the map.
We all know who really won this fight and his name doesn’t end in Jones
Fr,fr, ufc just let him cheat his way to 16 championship title wins. Bs lol
I believe this is one of the most clear cut victory's. Reyes won without a doubt.
2 4 5 rounds for jones
@@hotsalad7786 don’t think that’s why he’s getting at dumb ass. Just because you are the best doesn’t mean you can’t be favorited by judges
Reyes didn't control the octagon for 1 second. Back peddling and countering is all he did. By the 4th round he was exhausted and did nothing in the 5th
crash bandicoot really crashed and burned after that jones decision loss
Reyes did amazing In this fight can't knock him for that
Nobody was.
Morgan Freeman voice: *And that rematch never happened*
LMFAOOO NO PARTY FAVORS. Funniest callout ever
I love when athletes show good sportsmanship❤
I think it was actually the Jiri ko that stole whatever Dom had inside.
Yeah, that elbow changed his skull.
Nah it was Jan. Jan took his soul, Jiri put him out his misery.
@@daevonthesavage7483 naw Reyes fought till the bitter end against Jiri, he showed amazing heart and durability. He almost knocked Jiri TF out btw. He still had his soul, he was still fighting with everything he had.
That elbow KO was life changing, you can’t be the same person after damage like that.
Jan outsmarted and outstruck Reyes, but Jiri shut his brain off literally.
Still waiting for that rematch
Youre gonna be waiting forever lol
If jones even come back it won’t be at LHW he said there’s nun left fo him to gain at LHW
@@smerkishjay503 I think it's common knowledge that he's been off to put on weight, train as a heavyweight and eventually come back to fight for the Heavyweight Championship
@@jerrygrenadier6067 u might be right ill be surprised if him or Conor come back tho would like to see them both fight even if ion like em as ppl they’re fun to watch
Jon was all cocked up here. Jones is unstoppable when he’s focused
“They just might be the next best thing but not quite me”
Dominick Reyes chin " aight im out"
Jon knew there wouldn’t be a rematch let’s be real
He was very respectful to Bones
Like the way bones avoids eye contact with his opponents at the beginning of fights. Pretty much everyone else is up for a staring contest but the almighty Jon Bones. Pure legend😂
jon is a 9ussy who lost lol
I am worried jon will get koed if he fights ngannou next,he almost lost to reyes who got finished badly in his last three fights,this sport moves on very fast,you can't expect to come back after a 3 year layoff and beat the current hw champ.
i hope so. i hope it ends in brain damage.
facts i genuinely see jon jones literally getting knocked out cold making it a moment that will go down in combat sports history
He will get what’s coming
GSP came back after 4 years and won a belt
Reyes lost alot of confidence and skill after this fight, just seemed like he got worse and that fight was ages ago.
"Im gonna wrap my arms around him and uh, we're gonna make sweet passionate love. Its gonna be great" -Jon Jones
Damn Jon said that? What a sick fuhk
"He tickles my pickle." - Jon's Bone Jones
hell yeah dude
Me
This is a far more terrifying version of the line.
Reyes replies: "Uh, no we're not"
Jon: "...it's gonna be great.,", *unblinking eye contact for several minutes
Reyes lived a fantasy for around and a half
This fight took a lot out of both fighters. Truly a war.
It legit shown 99% of everything Jon Jones did there's almost 4 mins of reyes kicking Jon's ass not even 30 seconds of Jon's though
Statistically jon landed the same amount quit acting like reyes landed so much more! Clown.. jon not only matched his out put but he took reyes down twice aswell therfore he won the fight Statistically.
@@sukmynut you keep believing that fake strike count bro
@@sukmynut no he didn’t. Statistically Reyes outstruck him 116-104 and even that’s generous to Jon. Plus they didn’t give Reyes a knockdown which is bullshit. Reyes clearly won. Got robbed by judges who I’m sure we’re instructed to give jones this fight unless he got finished
@@sukmynutnot how a fight is scored. It’s scored by rounds. STATISTICALLY Reyes outstruck jones the first 3 rounds. So therefore he lost 3 out of 5 rounds. And it wasn’t even that close.. don’t be mad your boy was given a robbery decision. There’s a reason the media was outraged this wife beating steroid cheat was gifted this belt. And everyone with a lick of mma knowledge knew the truth. And even the casuals can look up the stats per round and see who really won.
@@86hills59he outstruck him by 10 Strikes you add 2 takedowns jon had on that and jones edges it out plus full octagon control trough the match and you get jon as a clear Winner
Second i heard "I'm like the young John Jones" I started giggling
this what broke reyes's carrer
he won imo
Good thing your opinion doesn’t matter
@@triggaveli7923 neither do yours lil bro 😀
Regardless of how you feel about the outcome it was a good fight
Reyes fought a juiced as hell jones and still won that is dope
This fight was legendary
My man def got robbed
Nah jones was just outta reach 3-4 reyes rarely landed clean, then Jones dominated the 5th.
What a freaking battle!!!
The bones curse. Reyes was never the same afterwards. Didn't help that he faced nothing but killers afterwards.
Reyes won that fight but hasn't been the same since.
You putting your best effort forward, you and your corner feel like the belt is headed to your corner and then your robbed. That could get your head and faith out the game for a bit. Hopefully he refocuses and uses that as motivation
And people still simping for jon jones. So many gifted decisions
Imagine Jon Jones calling you immature.
It’s so stupid the UFC put Reyes against superman Span, long explosive power puncher - after all his brutal knockouts. The sport is vicious.
I truly hope Reyes gets back in the win column one day
Hell of a uppercut
And Reyes was never the same!
imagine the judges fuck up so bad you're never the same
Prolly the best fight I've seen in awhile
Dom was never the same after this fight… no one is ever the same after fighter the goat.
Dom did a great job he won that fight
Lol check the stats for yourself clown
These fights made Jon walk away for 2 plus years
He realized how beatable he is with usada
This and the santos fight
Both those guys are losing to everyone today too
Jon walked away to gain muscle mass and weight for HW division. It’s takes time to transition into hw my guy. And Jon dominated santos so idk what you’re on guy🤣 he left his division so the rest of the guys can have a fighting chance at getting the belt and so he can claim the hw belt.
Jon made a smart move, lighter divisions have a shorter lifespan but Heavyweights have the longest lifespan.
@@ryanhammonds919 i know the reasons he gave
Just eat it up
You probably think he was a clean fighter too 🤡
Like i said, he gave a brilliant excuse to walk away
Cause he was looking real beatable
@@rs3daily587 you’re stuck in the past my friend.
@@ryanhammonds919 I'm stuck exactly where Jones left off
You're only as good as your last fight
Jon takes every little thing personally. It's actually amusing.
Great Fight, Jones won and ever since Reyes lost to Jones, he's never been the same, now he's reduced to an Undercard Fighter, he never mentally recovered from the loss, he was so bitter in every interview and had Jones living in his head rent free.
Reyes used all his power and chin attributes during this match.
I'm like a young jon Jones we he was there for both of our first losses
The inflection on Jon's voice when he says "young and immature" How tf did we not notice this man was gay?
People talk about how good Dominic did but don’t talk about how Jon basically dogged through that fight .
He didn’t even get wobbled once even though reyes landed the best slomo uppercut I’ve ever seen in my life. He landed 2 uppercuts on jon. Other than those and some body kicks He missed quite a bit and walked backwards like 20 minutes of that fight.
@@grenade_guy 49-46 tho? What kind of crack was that judge smoking?
@@grenade_guy watch the fight again. Not trying to be rude but it was all Dom.
@@MedroffYT No, Jones pressures him for 25 minutes
yes jones did amazing at surviving in the first 3 rounds, shame that doesn’t mean he won them in any way
He may have always been destined to be a transitional champion, especially compared to the rest of the division, but Reyes deserved to stand at the top with that belt even if it was only to unseat Jones. It's sad to see how his careers turned out. The sport is brutal.
It really came down to the 5th round where jones took over
I remember the robbery that occured that night.
I came home late that night and it still feel like yesterday everything was gone
@@jamarionwilliams4453 huh 🤔😦
We all know Reyes was the real winner that night.
Biggest robbery
Reyes got the Gustafson treatment. It’s sad, neither of them looked the same after their fights. They left a part of their souls that night going for it, it’s sad. Hope Reyes can bounce back soon, he really needs a win
You on crack, Reyes... yeah you could argue he may or may not won the belt but Gustafsson flat out lost. People wanna give too much credit to Gustafsson for looking good in that fight when he lost every round.
@@cipherP9 Gus flat out lost the 2nd time for sure. No question about it. Jon had taken him more seriously in the 2nd fight, had also improved by then and stopped him. Jon was more patient and actually set up take downs in the 2nd fight.. The first fight was a very controversial decision. He gave Jon that work. I watched it again the other day. Jon did not win that fight. But he got a gift decision. My My theory to this day is that Jon severely underestimated Alex. He thought because Phil Davis folded Alex so easy with wrestling and submitted him in a couple minutes, he would be able to do the same easily. But Alex trained hard for that fight and was ready for Jon and employed a great strategy that worked. Keep the fight standing, excellent movement and footwork that confused Jon and that he was not ready for and bust him up with good boxing combos. Jon’s boxing was exposed that night too. It sucks…..
Uppercut was nasty
Robbery imo.
Not at all. It was close . 1 and 2 were Dom. 3 and 4 for bones. It all came down to round 5. Could have gone either way but not a robbery. People are just so used to bones dominance. It was close but not a robbery
I thought it was 4-1 Jones. Throwing wild punches that are hitting air or getting blocked, don’t get scored as points. Reyes landed that uppercut, thats it. IMO😉
Close fights aren’t robberies ‼️
Me and my brother just sat down and rewatched it jon won that fight hands down
No close fights are robberies, yan v O’Malley is another example that close fights can go either way
People dont understand how much more the end of a fight matters than any other round
Herny Cejudo & Yan lost to Aljo quit the 🧢
Tell that to Islam somehow beating Volk while just about to get knocked out in the final round lol
They all talk the same old s*** until they step in the ring
Jon felt that fight for real 😂
Man he should’ve got that belt. Only time I’ve seen John get beat up
Thiago 'maretta'
Reyes honestly won this fight.
Reyes was giving him WORK
From a business perspective this was a no brainer
Jon Jones showed respect for him..good batle
Brilliant fight 👏 reyes did phenomenal
Reyes really tested Jones
Reyes won this fight clean and no one can change my mind
Absolutely. That was the day I pretty much figured any high dollar competition in the UFC has a chance of being rigged.
Reyes won that fight!!! By a big margin
It was 4-1 for Reyes in my opinion but most see it at 3-2 which is understandable but what isn't understandable is that the judges and some people think Jones dominated the fight.
Not many people can say they lasted 5 rounds with JJ
Quite plenty, actually. Bringing Jon Jones to a razor-thin decision, now that's an utmost respect.
Such a close fight
This was when Jon was partying and just fighting because he could. This is Jon with minimal training and partying, it showed. But he still won
That evening Reyes was formidable.. what a fight
I love how Jon Jones talks. Very refreshing to hear a black athlete speak like a man
What
@@sn-oh1db idk what this man said either
@@migueljuarez6788 he said that he likes how he speaks like a man without saying nigga or motherfucker or any swearing
Agreed. Jon is very intelligent, when he wants to be at least.

He had alot of potential

Dominick actually won this wtf.
🧢 Jones won 3-5
@@dafitbeersnob3690 behave yourself. Lucky to give Jon even 1 round. Dominick dictated the fight. Pressured Jon, landed the more significant strikes, beat Jon in every department.
Robbery
Ur delusional
Low blow with the party favors line after dom beat weidman but had me sold and invested in that fight when jon responded via twitter live
This video shows the one takedown that Jon actually landed on him. Way to go.
At the very least should have been a draw. Legendary fight
“it might come down to this round” when your 3-1 down is crazy
Justice for dom reyes
