What time is Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes tonight? Live stream info, price, odds for UFC 247
Jon Jones believes Dominick Reyes suffers from the mentality of “being a big fish in a small pond.”
The UFC light heavyweight champion intends to explore and exploit that theory when he puts his title on the line against Reyes in the main event of UFC 247 at the Toyota Center in Houston on Saturday night. The co-main event pits Valentina Shevchenko putting the flyweight title on the line against Katlyn Chookagian.
Jones heard confident talk from the likes of Thiago Santos and Anthony Smith in 2019, only to escape the Octagon with his title in tow each time. “Bones” told ESPN’s Ariel Helwani earlier this week that “it’s a really good chance” that he’ll be moving up to heavyweight and that he feels like he could beat UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic once he does.
All that’s standing between Jones (25-1-0, 1 no contest) and that jump up in weight is a game Reyes, who will look to stop the man who’s widely regarded as the greatest of all time in mixed martial arts.
Considering the history of Reyes’ body of work — 12-0 with seven knockouts — “The Devastator” — may look to those heavy hands to record the upset.
Will Jones once again prove that there are levels to his MMA skills, and that every other light heavyweight is inferior to him? Or will Reyes forcefully show Jones and the MMA world that he has the skills and power needed to dethrone the GOAT?
