Jon Jones tweets, deletes UFC 247 ‘robbery’ rant: Reyes wasn’t ‘finishing the fight like a man’

In the UFC 247 headliner, Jon Jones narrowly got past Dominick Reyes to retain his UFC light heavyweight title. Many who watched the bout thought that Reyes took the first three rounds, and Jones took the final two. But all three judges disagreed, with one judge actually giving Jones a 49-46 score.

In the aftermath of the fight, Jones was saying that he won because of his wrestling more than anything. Now, as he likes to do, the champ has taken to Twitter to give a more detailed explanation of how he came out of Houston with the belt still around his waist.
