Dominick Reyes reacts to Jon Jones declaring he’s next: ‘I hope he makes it to the fight’

Dominick Reyes knows he finally has Jon Jones’ attention, and he’s ready to sign a contract to make their title fight official.

On Wednesday night, Jones released a message on Twitter declaring that Reyes was the opponent he wanted to face in the next defense of his UFC light heavyweight championship. The decision apparently came down to Reyes or fellow light heavyweight contender Corey Anderson, who’d just dispatched Johnny Walker via first round TKO this past weekend at UFC 244.

“Just finished a coaches’ meeting studying Dominick and Corey’s careers,” Jones wrote.
