Light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes is confident he’ll get an immediate rematch against Jon Jones. The previously undefeated 30-year-old was on the wrong side of a unanimous decision verdict at UFC 247 in Houston, Texas over the weekend.
However, the fighter himself believes he should be the new champion right now after clearly beating Jones. His belief appears to be the consensus one held by fellow fighter, fans and pundits too.
Reyes appeared somewhat disheartened but emphatic in the belief he won when speaking to on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show, he said.
“I felt I did everything
in my power to win that fight and it felt like somebody took it away from me.”
When asked if he watched
back the fight Reyes said he’d only seen the last two rounds, one of which he thinks
he may have won.
“No – I rewatched four
and five. I didn’t watch one to three because I knew I had that won pretty
handily. Then in four I had him backed up as well. I had him hurt so I could
have even been argued four (rounds) to one.”
“It’s sh*tty. It sucks,
it sucks pretty bad man. I mean I worked incredibly hard for my whole life for
this moment and I did it.”
The California native is now intent on getting an immediate rematch, something he is confident of getting with a little help form the UFC fans.
“If the fans put enough pressure
on (Jon) Jones. If they put enough pressure on the UFC and they want to see it,
I’m sure we’ll get that rematch. I know I deserve it. It should a rematch for
him trying to get his belt back, that should be the rematch.”

Dominick Reyes revealed what shocked him about fighting UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones this past weekend.
Reyes took Jones to his limit as they fought the full 25 minutes in the UFC 247 headliner on Saturday night. Many thought “The Devastator” did enough to win the fight, especially after his performance in the first three rounds where he connected on Jones several times.
However, “Bones” was able to snatch the win via unanimous decision after a strong second half of the fight to retain his title. But regardless of whether one thinks the result was wrong or a robbery, Jones certainly displayed the heart of a champion and Reyes did offer notable praise for his ability to take a shot:
“Well, first of all, shoutout to Jon,” Reyes said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday. “His chin was amazing in this fight. He really doesn’t get enough credit for his chin.
“I was hitting him with some bombs and he knows it, we know it. So shoutout to Jon for his chin.”
Reyes went on to add that he felt he had Jones on the ropes several times during the fight. But what really impressed him was the toughness of the champion:
“The biggest thing that surprised me was his toughness,” Reyes added. “Incredible toughness. I was ripping the body and he was just, he had quite the poker face, man. That shocked me.”
Despite his praise, Reyes still feels he won and believes deep down, Jones knows he won as well.
“As a fighter, you know how the rounds go,” Reyes explained. “You know exactly what happens. He knows I won. Deep down in his heart, he knows I won.
“And him being Jon Jones, a great martial artist himself, I feel like he would want a rematch for his own mind knowing that I won that fight.”
Maybe a rematch is what we end up seeing next.
