    Absolute pish Card not even saved by JJ as he’s fighting someone with nothing behind him. Casuals have no idea who Reyes is.

    Fully expecting Jones but win comfortably but want to see how Reyes comes at this level.

    Shevchenko is impressive, has to be said. Extremely well rounded.

    Best round I can remember someone having against Jones, dont mind seeing Reyes before but he matches him for size which I cant mind before either.

    Reyes still looking good half way in, the range Jones is fighting at Reyes can still land punches and kicks. If this was the first time watching these two they look of equal skill, Jones controlling the middle and loking calmer and composed but still getting caught more than hes hitting Reyes.

    Jones wore him down a bit there, looked like he could have went for it more though Reyes hardly threw anything and seems tired.

    Could be interesting, thought Reyes won 1 and 2 and maybe 3, Jones won 4 and 5. Probably a draw i'd call that since the 3rd was mixed.

    Wow man.

    Got Jones by a whisker but wouldn’t be surprised if Reyes takes it.

    49-46 Jones is a ridiculous scorecard. Glad Jones won but lost that fight in my opinion

    Should be a rematch anyway, now Reyes has went the distance he can pace himself better and be a bit smarter. Doesn't seem too far off Jones.

    Credit to Reyes man.

    Defo the real deal. Doubt it’ll happen straight away but a rematch should happen.

    That judge has been a * joke all night man. Never 4-1. There was pretty clear 2 rounds each with a third that could’ve went either way or a draw.

    Jones is undoubtedly the MMA GOAT.

    Can’t see anyone even getting close to him now. The record and the people he’s beat to get there is just * insane man.

    Awful score card, Reyes clearly won 1 and 2. I'd of given him the 3rd as well, but you just knew it would go to Jones.

    Especially at his weight, to be in with big guys just looking at his record i remember Evans and Jackson and Reyes, Cormier, Glover, Gustafsson, Smith and the rest one wee mistake against any of these guys and you could be knocked out.
