UFC 247 On ESPN+ PPV [2/8] “Swangin’ & Bangin” (Jon Jones/Dominick Reyes, Shevchenko/Chookagian)

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

Imagine tagging someone up anf getting out of the way, and people calling that running


Meanwhile several times Jones LITERALLY turned his back and run and it's ok

Difference is Jones had Reyes backing up literally all fight. Jones evaded Reyes' stuff and was then right back in the pocket to press forward. Big difference.

 

[The G.O.D II]

Please stop with this finish shyt. Plenty of fighters have lost going to the judges

 

[Northern Son]

Jones has regressed BIG time. Same combos over and over again, and is reluctant to use his dynamic wrestling (Reyes' take down defense is legit though). He won't remain champion for long imo

 

[Waterproof]

I had Reyes 3-2 but those Championship Rounds is what matters

Grandma Jones brought Jesus with her for her Grandbaby

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Jones clearly won 4 and 5. 3 was kind of a draw but Jones was the one applying pressure and controlled the round. It's clear as day he won.

 

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I don't mind these decisions. If you don't have a 100 percent clear victory then the decision should always go into the champions favor.

 

[A B O V E]

I need that Jones vs Adesanya at light Heavyweight ASAP.

 

[Kinguno]

That shyt was closer and farther then a lot of us realize

Jon was deflecting and blocking a lot of those blows

Reyes needs work on not fading too early and add more leg kicks

 

[Inertia Creeps]

A somewhat nebulous decision to be sure, but a Jones win makes Sherdog cacs mad so

Jones one of the youngest guys at the heavier weights age wise, but in fight years he's an old dog at this point. His wrestling especially is so much more labored and less explosive/dynamic now; if he can't chop his opponents legs down like he did Gus he can't really secure takedowns at all anymore. Worlds apart from 5 years ago where he was tripping DC of all people and holding him down like a father with a unruly child I think he might need a change of camp at this point; Jackson's is apparently a joke now compared to what it was in it's heyday if you wanna believe what every top fighter who's left there in the past 2 years has to say about it. There's so much footage of his and that camp's gameplan and style it's a miracle he still hasn't straight up definitively lost after almost a decade of being champ. Changing it up with that trailblazing camp that Izzy and Volk are both from would do him a lotta good IMO, but he's so personally attached to Jackson Wink he probably won't consider such a thing till it's too late unfortunately...

 

[Bryan Danielson]

STFU Rogan!!


The coli made me hate you so you a sucka!!!

Be mad

 

[luckyse7enz]

My sentiments exactly. Reyes def needs that rematch though.

Naaah....Jones will just move up to draw some money at HW.

Reyes can fight no. 2 for the vacated title and try to become the new draw at LHW.

The circle of life.

 

[dza]

White boys mad

Stop it breh. This ain’t black or white. It’s just bad judging.

 

[CHICAGO]

I GAVE JONES THE 2ND RD...

REYES CAME OUT WITH A FLURRY
AT THE START OF THE RD
BUT JONES CONTROLLED THE
REST OF THE RD UNTIL REYES
LANDED A FEW SHOTS IN THE LAST 30.

[GOAT]

The controversial decision is going to overshadow the fact that Jones had another boring point fighting performance. Kinda hard to believe from the guy who had an incredible finishing streak against top competition during his initial run to the title

'Close fight always goes to the champ" - Tell that to fukking Mighty Mouse who lost his belt on a split decision a lot of people thought he won

Judges give way too much credit to Jon for "pressure". What the fukk does it matter if you're walking forward if you're getting tagged up the entire time? He lost the first 3 clear as day. Reyes got tired and Jon won the last 2. Wasn't hard to score but fukk this sport anyway.
