It appears it was Dominick Reyes who was going to get the next shot at Jon Jones.
Jones defeated Reyes in a close unanimous decision victory in the UFC 247 headliner in February. However, many observers felt Reyes had done enough to earn the win as there were calls for an instant rematch.
Jan Blachowicz was another contender looking to get the next crack at the title while Thiago Santos was an outside shot. But according to Reyes, the UFC was looking to book a rematch between him and Jones — at least, until the coronavirus pandemic scuppered those plans:
“Yes, we were talking early fall,” Reyes told ESPN. “We started moving along, moving along, and then [COVID-19]. And that was it.”
Despite the uncertainty when it comes to the UFC schedule as well as whether Jones will remain champion following his recent legal troubles — including aggravated DWI among other things — Reyes believes his next fight will be against the reigning light heavyweight king.
“What I did in our fight, what happened, it was a big event,” Reyes said. “A lot of people talked about it for a long time. They’re still talking about it. I think not just myself, but the people kind of feel cheated with that fight. They want to see it again, see me perform like I did once again. A lot of people think that belt is mine. I agree. So let’s get it.”
Reyes is now hoping Jones doesn’t get suspended by the UFC for his latest actions. That said, what occurred last week was yet another reason why “The Devastator” stopped being a fan of Jones as a person:
“Personally, I hope he doesn’t get suspended, because I really need to rematch him for myself,” Reyes added. “I’ve always respected Jon as a fighter. I’ve always respected him in the Octagon, but outside the Octagon, it’s the same crap he’s been doing before that disappointed me when I was a fan of him.
“I was a fan of him, he did that and it disappointed me and made me not a fan, when he hit that pregnant lady. Now he’s doing the same thing.”

Thiago Santos has called for a title fight with Dominick Reyes.
Santos has been out of action since injuring both his knees in a split decision defeat to Jon Jones in their light heavyweight title fight at UFC 239 last summer.
And with the recent news of Jones getting arrested for aggravated DWI and negligent use of a firearm, there is a possibility that the light heavyweight champion may have to face further repercussions which could impact the title.
If such a scenario were to happen, Santos — who is now targeting a comeback — wants Reyes for what can only be assumed to be a fight for a vacant belt.
“I think UFCs 205 div needs a new champ! ( One thats not forever in trouble!)
I think me and Reyes deserve to fight for that belt! @danawhite @Mickmaynard2 @ufc @DomReyes @UFCBrasil @Alexdavismma @espnmma“
Santos notably defeated Jones on one judge’s scorecard with while other observers felt he should have won the fight. Many have suggested an uncompromised Santos may have done even better.
As for Reyes, he suffered a unanimous decision defeat to Jones at UFC 247 last month — but like Santos, many felt he deserved to win the contest.
Although a title fight between Santos and Reyes is unlikely at this point, the two very well could face each other next, especially if Jan Blachowicz ends up getting the next shot at Jones.
Regardless, what do you think of Santos’ idea?
