In some ways, UFC 247 exceeded expectations. Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes was an absolute thriller, Valentina Shevchenko’s win over Katlyn Chookagian was nothing less than dominant, and even the heavyweight fights both ended up entertaining. And that’s not to mention the fantastic war that Dan Ige and Mirsad Bektic put on, or James Krause’s gutsy performance on the prelims.
So, is there any way that Jon Jones doesn’t fight Dominick Reyes again? And what about Valentina Shevchenko? Does she have even one reasonable challenger at flyweight? And which of the young crop of rising featherweight contenders should Dan Ige face next?
