Jon Jones takes shot at Dominick Reyes and haters: ‘Be mad at Dom’s conditioning guy’

Jon Jones defended his UFC light heavyweight belt yet again last Saturday night with a unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in Houston.

The win was a controversial one, however, as many thought Reyes won the fight and got robbed by the judges.

I’m not one of those people, though I can see how many thought Reyes won. The challenger seemed to win the first two rounds, the third was tough to call, and then Jones won the fourth and five the rounds – the championship rounds.

It could have gone either way but I think to beat the champ you need to beat the champ, which Reyes didn’t do over the final few rounds.

Jones has heard Reyes’ claims that he won the fight and fired back on Twitter tonight, saying:

Dominic out struck me by literally 12 shots. I scored the take downs, was the aggressor, control the octagon every round, had more significant strikes landed.. Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges. 😩🤷🏾‍♂️

Don’t be mad at the judges, be mad at Dom’s conditioning guy. man started to give up when the water got deep and is now going around doing interviews talking about being robbed. When will these young boys start taking responsibility 🤷🏾‍♂️ that’s what’s wrong with boys these days.

At the end of the day, I got to be a part of another classic. I’m over here in ABQ smiling from ear to ear. Having fights like that tickles my pickle, it makes me feel so alive. Makes me feel like a man. Especially when you display having balls the way I did, nothing but a win

We’ll have to wait and see if Reyes gets an immediate rematch, which very likely could happen.

Until then, we’re just gonna have to watch these guys exchange more blows, just on Twitter.
