Jon Jones lyckades inatt försvara sin lätta tungviktstitel mot Dominick Reyes via enhälligt domslut. Reyes inledde dock matchen oerhört starkt och under matchens gång var mången MMA-profil imponerad av utmanarens insats. Många av dessa var efter matchen också väldigt missnöjda med att Jones tog hem segern via enhälligt domslut och till och med fick 49-46 i poäng av en domare.
Nedan kan ni se reaktionerna från MMA-världen under matchens gång, från namn som Michael Bisping, Daniel Cormier, Tito Ortiz, Chris Weidman, Francis Ngannou, och deras reaktioner efter att matchresultatet förkunnats:
Best in the light heavyweight division will fight tonight. May the best man win! #TEAMREYES @ufc #UFC247
— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) February 9, 2020
Jon Jones coming up. Mma hasn’t seen dominance like such . He has beaten himself many times . No man has solved the puzzle. Here we go #UFC247
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) February 9, 2020
Who you got!? I’m hoping Reyes can pull this off
— Randa Markos (@randamma) February 9, 2020
So same height but Jones’ reach is like ten inches longer 😳 #ufc247
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) February 9, 2020
Best shape I’ve seen @JonnyBones ever. #UFC247
— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) February 9, 2020
If Jones keeps throwing a the teep to the body Reyes is going to be hurting after the 5th especially considering he threw everything but the kitchen sink that round #UFC247
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) February 9, 2020
Jones down 2-0. Let’s see if Reyes has the gas tank to keep this going #UFC247
— Mike Trizano (@TheLoneWolfMMA) February 9, 2020
Reyes looks amazing. Needs to pace himself though. #experience
— michael (@bisping) February 9, 2020
I got Reyes 2 rounds. Great round by both fighters. Reyes chopping at that front leg of Jones. Jones throwing hard body kicks. Let’s hope Reyes keeps that left hand up. #UFC247
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) February 9, 2020
Can reyes keep this up? Hes definitely stepping up
— Sodiq Yusuff (@Super_Sodiq) February 9, 2020

— Justin Gaethje 🇺🇸 (@Justin_Gaethje) February 9, 2020
3-0, great pressure by jones, Reyes doing a good job of controlling the action when they engage
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) February 9, 2020
Unbelievable takedown dedence
— michael (@bisping) February 9, 2020
I might be a victim of the moment but I feel like Reyes is up 3. Am I tripping?
— Sodiq Yusuff (@Super_Sodiq) February 9, 2020
WOW, that wrestling sequence from Reyes!!!! Dude is a beast! #UFC247
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) February 9, 2020
I can’t call it!! Who is winning?!?! So close!! You gotta beat the champ! #UFC247
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) February 9, 2020
Reyes is exhausted and Jones is taking over, but Reyes fires back enough to slow Jones’s mental momentum. Jones has to finish him this round to win.
— michael (@bisping) February 9, 2020
I am gonna say it’s tied right now 2-2. Let’s see who wants it more. #UFC247
— Mike Trizano (@TheLoneWolfMMA) February 9, 2020
I feel like if Jones doesn’t get a finish we’re gonna hear #AndNew #UFC247
— Gerald Meerschaert (@The_Real_GM3) February 9, 2020

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) February 9, 2020
AndNEW!!!!!! #UFC247
— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) February 9, 2020
Close fight. I see it 3-2 but wouldn’t be surprised if it went the other way!
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) February 9, 2020
My initial feeling here is Reyes won this fight I might have to rewatch this one
— Eddie Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) February 9, 2020
OMG WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!
— Sam Alvey (@smilensam) February 9, 2020

— Jessica Eye (@jessicaevileye) February 9, 2020
49-46 Jones? #ufc247 #nojudges
— Max Griffin (@MaxPainGriffin) February 9, 2020
I don’t agree with the scoring. But I knew I could’ve went either way.#UFC247
— Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) February 9, 2020
Not robbery. Close fight, could have gone either way. 3-1 or 2-2 going into 5th. I thought 3-2 Reyes but the fight was so close it could have gone either way.
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) February 9, 2020
Not sure about the score cards . They awarded pressure tonight . What scores more PRESSURE or point strikes ? There’s is no concrete answer . We need a standard judging system! #UFC247
— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) February 9, 2020
I had Reyes in the first three rounds. Credit to Jones on coming on strong 4th and 5th but I would of guessed Reyes won that fight on scorecards.
— Chris Weidman (@chrisweidman) February 9, 2020
The decisions tonight were all wrong . They need vet fighters to become judges for our sport
— Eddie Alvarez (@Ealvarezfight) February 9, 2020
This is embarrassing for the sport.
— Sam Alvey (@smilensam) February 9, 2020
Surprised, but it was close so u cant be mad. 49 46 a bit wild but great fight
— Sodiq Yusuff (@Super_Sodiq) February 9, 2020
THIS IS FUCKING BS WOW. REALLY? WTF 🙈
— Manny Gamburyan (@MannyGamburyan) February 9, 2020
Not a fan of the decision… best I can get behind is 3-2 Jones #UFC247
— Zachary Makovsky (@ZachFunSize) February 9, 2020
Booooooooo!!!!! #ufc247
— Tito Ortiz (@titoortiz) February 9, 2020
OMG! What a wonderful performance for Reyes?! 👀 #UFC247
— Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) February 9, 2020
Wow @ufc like you couldn’t seem more corrupt! Jon Jones did NOT win that fight. 3 rounds to 2, for Reyes and that can’t be argued! TRASH! You stole that from the man the earned it. Terrible!
— Jamie Varner (@jamievarner) February 9, 2020
Detta var Reyes (12-1) första förlust i karriären och Jones (26-1, 1 NC) tredje raka titelförsvar.
