Dominick Reyes claims Jon Jones backed out of rematch, demanded more money

The last time we saw Jon Jones compete it was all the way back at UFC 247 in February 2020. That night he defended his UFC light heavyweight title with a unanimous decision over Dominick Reyes.

The fight was an extremely close affair and much of the media scores on the night did not agree with the three cage-side officials. MMA decisions shows that seven media members scored the fight 48-47 for Jones (including our own Mookie Alexander) and fourteen media members had it 48-47 for Reyes (including our own Dayne Fox).

Official stats show that Reyes landed a dozen more total strikes and significant strikes than Jones throughout the contest.
