Jones, 32, is set to defend his light heavyweight title against Reyes in the main event, while UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko will defend her flyweight strap against No. 1-ranked contender Katlyn Chookagian in the co-main event. The highly anticipated PPV will also feature a pivotal heavyweight matchup between Derrick Lewis and Ilir Latifi.
If Jones beats Reyes, the pound-for-pound #1 is rumored to move up to heavyweight, where he will look to become a two-division world champion. Jones revealed earlier this month that the ‘big fight announcement’ he teased of prior to the Reyes fight was supposed to be a heavyweight title bout versus Stipe Miocic.
UFC 247: Jones vs. Reyes takes place next month, Feb. 8 at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
