Dominick Reyes’ legs took a major beating in the Jon Jones fight.
Reyes (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) was helped out of the octagon following his heartbreaking loss to UFC light heavyweight champion Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) at UFC 247, where Jones implemented his usual array of attacks, chopping away at Reyes’ legs.
After a strong start, outstriking Jones throughout the first three frames, Reyes started to slow down a little in the latter rounds, and the damage to his legs could have played a part in hindering his movement late. He lost a unanimous decision in a fight that many thought he won.
Five days later, Reyes took to Instagram to show off some of his battle scars, confirming that no major damage has been done.
“Hey Everyone! I’m doin good, thanks for the tremendous support. MRI came back negative, but have some bruising from blunt force trauma. #peopleschamp #pricewepay”
Jones, who’s also adamant that he won, was seen in the UFC 247 “Thrill and Agony” segment telling Reyes that he’s willing to run it back.
However, this Saturday’s pivotal rematch between Corey Anderson and Jan Blachowicz at UFC Rio Rancho may prove otherwise, but time will tell.
