Jon Jones rallies as Dominick Reyes fumbles title away in championship rounds

Sometime over the next few days, Dominick Reyes is going to watch the main event of UFC 247 and be sick to his stomach.

He’s going to see a fight that fell through his grasp, that he had firmly within his control and let get away. Jon Jones managed to come back after falling in a big hole to nip Reyes and retain his light heavyweight title by scores of 48-47 twice and 49-46 on Saturday in the main event of UFC 247 at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Some will, as they always do, blame the judges, and let’s be honest: Judge Joe Solis’ 49-46 score is laughably inept.
