Go behind the scenes with both champion Jon Jones and challenger Dominick Reyes as they prepare to face off for the UFC light heavyweight title on February 8th.
The countdown is on for UFC 247.
The UFC has just released the full episode of Countdown to UFC 247 on their YouTube channel to get everyone hyped for the big event in Houston, Texas on February 8th. Sitting atop the card is light heavyweight champ Jon Jones, who will be defending his belt against surging prospect Dominick Reyes. Also featured during the show is the women’s flyweight championship bout between Valentina Shevchenko and Katlyn Chookagian.
We’ve repeated this numerous times but it seems like all the sizzle is right at the top of this pay-per-view with Jones vs. Reyes being the main attraction. Even with “Bones” having a harder time than usual against his last challenger Thiago Santos, many people including the Vegas bookies see this as a likely win for the GOAT contender. Mayhaps a glimpse into Reyes’ camp and mindset leading up to his big shot in Houston will change your mind?
