Jon Jones
Jon Jones will be defending his heavyweight title in this fight. So far his record is (25-1). Jones wasn’t fighting since his successful split decision win over Thiago Santos in July. An interesting fact is that Jones have chosen to defend his belt against Reyes, despite the chance to fight against his fellow division contender Corey Anderson. ”Bones” regained his belt from Daniel Cormier in 2017, a fight now deemed a no-contest after Jon has failed a drug test after the fight. Jones has since won against Anthony Smith, Thiago Santos and Alexander Gustafsson.
Dominick Reyes
Last month Reyes (12-0) secured a first-round knockout over the former middleweight champion and light-heavyweight debutant Chris Weidman. Also, he has beaten such fighters as Jared Cannonier, Ovince Saint Preux and Volkan Oezdemir since he signed for the UFC in 2017. A very nice to see the 29-year-old fighter saying that it would be his honor to fight such player as Jones since he is currently number one in the pound for pound fighter list. No matter how this fight ends, both players don’t want to trash talk and show respect to each other, also it shows them both being careful.
