Dominick Reyes will find out that there is more to just fighting Jon Jones as fight week continues.
That’s according to Anthony Smith who failed in his attempt at defeating Jones when they met at UFC 235 last March. Reyes will look to have better luck when he faces “Bones” in the main event of UFC 247 on Saturday night.
“The Devastator” is undefeated and very confident of his chances. But Smith believes he has no idea what he’s getting into:
“Dominick Reyes has no idea what he’s getting into. And it’s not even the X’s and the O’s,” Smith said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show (via MMA News). “There’s so much more to fighting Jon Jones that I learned now but would’ve been pretty helpful before the fight.
“And there’s a lot of things that guys don’t talk about because I think some people are afraid that it’s gonna make you look like a pansy or something. Like you’re not man enough to handle it but there’s a lot of stuff that goes into fighting Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes is about to find that out.”
“Lionheart” touched on one of those things — Jones messing with the schedules of his opponents during fight week due to the favoritism that he receives.
“Alright, I’ll just be honest. All the people that treat you so well the week of a fight and the people that you feel like are your friends, it’s very different when you’re fighting Jon Jones and you go into the fight week,” Smith explained. “Usually, fight weeks are pretty relaxing for the most part like you got lots of media and stuff, and it’s not like I’ve never been in the main event before I fought Jon Jones.
“It’s not like I’m not used to that but he’s very much the favorite. He messes with your schedule, he just messes with you the whole time and by the time you get to the fight, you’re mentally exhausted.”
For his part, Reyes seems fine but all that could change in the next few days.

Light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes wants to be a role model when he become champion. The 30-year-old faces off against 205lb title holder Jon Jones in the UFC 247 main event this weekend. ‘The Devastator’ has been talking to MMA Fighting about how he plans to be a better champion than his opponent, he said.
“No matter what, you’re a role model. Kids
are going to look up to you, no matter what. Whether you want to or not. I have
nieces and nephews. I have a brother who’s 10 years old. He looks up to me.
These kids look up to me every day so I’m already in that role. I’m not
perfect. I make mistakes. I drink from time to time. I go out but it’s about
being responsible and not being an assh*le about it.”
One of the reasons Reyes fancies himself to
be a respectable champion, is because he has been preparing for it his entire
life. Now at his athletic prime and mentally mature enough, he believes this
title shot has come at the perfect time. Once he wins expect a professional, classy
and wholesome approach from Reyes.
“I’ve been preparing to be at this level my
whole life. I’ve kind of been preparing to be a famous athlete my whole life,”
Reyes said. “For me, I’m not going to become champion at 23. I’m 30 years old
now. I’ve been trained in the media stuff. I know how to act. I’m very classy
with my approach to everything. I’m not going to go out and start doing crazy
drugs and drinking everyday. I’m very professional about how I present myself
and how I go about my life.
“I have family and really close friends
around me. I have a very close circle of people around me. I still live in my
hometown. I’m just happy being me. Being champion
isn’t going to change who I am. When I become champion, that’s just added to
the resume.”
“There’s more responsibility, more public speaking, more outreach, there’s more things that I’m going to be doing but I just see it as more opportunity to help my community. To help people that need help. To be a positive influence and force of good in this world.”
