Dominick Reyes faces a towering task at UFC 247 this Saturday: beat UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
In 27 professional fights, Jones has lost just once, and that was via disqualification after he stapled a grotesquely outmatched Matt Hamill to the canvas with a series of illegal elbows. Jones’ victories, meanwhile, have come against world-class talents like Ryan Bader, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Vitor Belfort, Alexander Gustafsson, Glover Teixeira, Daniel Cormier, Anthony Smith and Thiago Santos—to name a very small few.
Over the course of his incredible run of dominance in the UFC, Jones has been so impressive that it now seems nearly impossible that anybody will beat him without the help of a baseball bat or a sword.
