“That’s not what the judges said”—Fans laugh as Jon Jones claps back at Dominick Reyes for still claiming victory

Jon Jones has established himself as one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. Currently competing in the Heavyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), where he holds the title of UFC Heavyweight Champion, the 37-year-old fighter has been virtually unbeatable. However, his 2020 fight against Dominick Reyes remains a topic of debate, as many fans and media outlets scored the fight in favor of Reyes, despite Jones being awarded the win via unanimous decision. Now, five years later, Dominick Reyes just revisited the controversial bout with his latest comments.

While recently appearing on the Gypsy Tales podcast, Dominick Reyes expressed his frustration over his controversial 2020 fight with Jon Jones, stating that he should have knocked Jones out instead of leaving the decision to the judges. Unsurprisingly, Jones didn’t take kindly to the comments and responded in the comments section, saying,

“Dominick, let’s play a game of rock paper scissors. Best two out of three. That way you can finally possibly beat me at something—so I don’t have to hear these stories 40 years from now.”

The exchange between Reyes and Jones has sparked mixed reactions from UFC fans, with some calling for the two to let it go, while others believe they should settle it in the octagon once again.

Hilarious Fan Reactions

Fans were thoroughly entertained by the exchange between the two fighters and quickly took to the internet to share their hilarious reactions.

"That’s not what the judges said lmfao," a fan said.

Dominick Reyes may believe he won the fight against Jon Jones in 2020, but the judges clearly didn’t share that view, awarding Jones the victory by unanimous decision, as this fan humorously pointed out.

"Bro need to move on 😭," pointed another.

Many UFC fans believe Reyes should move on already since it’s been 5 years since the fight. It’s like an ex still obsessing over their partner long after their breakup!
