Official UFC 247 thread - Jon Jones vs Dominick Reyes

[FHSwarrior17]

power move lmao


cruz and rogan won't get canned

At worst Cruz would be go back to being a fighter only

But Dana isn't an ordinary boss so i'm 10000% sure he agrees with them

[OttomanEmpire]

Lettuce beef cereal, if the opponent wasn't named Jones, Reyes would have been given the edge.

They bringing up the take downs.... cool story bro, take downs got stuffed and inflicted no damage. This is some nonsense.

Brah latifi took Lewis multiple times in multiple rounds holding him down for minutes and striking his mid body, gets stood up multiple times and then they counted for nothing. Uh he's just laying and praying...

[wickedman]

Never thought about an open scoring system before, that sounds amazing for MMA.

[scooterbrah]

edit: how does dana allow these judges and also the commentators bashing them? i think controversy = popularity...dana is loving this

dana doesnt pick the judges brah

[FHSwarrior17]

Go watch De La Hoya vs Sturm if you want to see some epic boxing level rigging.

Or Bradley Pacquiao 1

Canelo GGG 1 still rustles me as well

[hardestgainer]

What in the fuk did Jon do in a past life to deserve so many lucky breaks to go his way in his life.

[adamsz]

people talking about the takedowns and the lack of them leading to anything -

you have no idea how that weighed on the judges scorecards, just because Jon mentioned it in the post fight interview doesn't means thats why he won the rounds

[tnel00]

They really should have it

[OttomanEmpire]

Srs though imagine reyes with Jones 84.5 reach

[VegasLifter26]

dana doesnt pick the judges brah

hes prolly texting them during the fight brah

[BobLoblawBrah]

Haha this. Feel bad for the next physical body his spirit goes into. Real rollercoaster spirit right there.

true s hit

[iloveus]

will lol hard as hell if he fails the drug test

Probably will

[nn586]

entertaining card overall

it is what it is

[bfdehewdbyywhn]

Srs though imagine reyes with Jones 84.5 reach

big reach doesn’t always equal fighting skill. didn’t you just watch the Juan Adams fight

[sooby]

i think jon won mostly because he was the guy who was advancing most of the time and pressuring dominick and he was the fresher fighter

the 3rd round was iffy for me but like I said it was a very close fight and that 49-46 is just terrible judging and i'm glad cruz called him out on it lol

[QuitYourCrying]

This still isn't nearly as bad as GSP/Hendricks. That was the ultimate screw job.

Reyes won the first 3 rounds. Pretty hard to dispute that.

Except GSP legitimately won the 5th, which gave him 3 rounds.

[Nicklol]

rigged sport.

they knew how much money theyd be losing without jones vs israel and jones vs heavyweights..
its a business

look how quick they separated latifi from derek lewis tonight.. its all about entertainment and not sport

[OttomanEmpire]

big reach doesn’t always equal fighting skill. didn’t you just watch the Juan Adams fight

Yes that's why I mentioned Reyes. What's Reyes 74 or 77?

[QuitYourCrying]

They really should have it

It would completely change the sport, possibly for the worse.

If a guy knows for sure he's up 2 rounds, he'll just go into a defensive shell in the 3rd and stall out the round for the guaranteed win. Why engage and risk losing? Then again, the other guy will be head hunting looking for a knockout, so maybe that's entertaining?

[sdmk]

LMAO
wanted jones to win but the decision is boxing-tier
even adalaide byrd would be ashamed of that 49-46

[Crazee_786]

Couldnt have said it better. I am done watching the ufc its a joke and has been this corrupt for too long now.

Reyes walked down jones and hammered him. Any take down he suffered he literally got right back up.

Latifi beat the brakes off lewis and took him down at will and still lost.

And dont even mention the other fights

AND THATS JUST TONIGHTS CORRUPTION.

Nothing left to see but watch cash cows sadly.

No real fights. No real sports. This may as well be the WWE

However. There is one small but important caveat. Want to win? KO or submit your opponent. There is no corrupting that. Leave nothing to doubt. Paypal me $20 and I will give the rest of lifes secrets.

[chino3]

Garbage. Unanimous?! Should be a split decision at best. Realistically a draw or a win for Reyes.

Split decision? Your casual is showing

You know Joe knows Jon got his ass whooped lol, whenever you're talking about needing a new scoring system - someone got gifted.

Don’t disagree but joe was talking about wanting to change the scoring system and even more judges just last week on his podcast with jim norton. Joe was like “we might even need a total of 10 judges...”

[scooterbrah]

Never thought about an open scoring system before, that sounds amazing for MMA.

GLORY used to have open scoring and 5 judges.

[ipunchurgirl]

Reyes looked really good. Good footwork. Looked like a lhw Dom Cruz

[OttomanEmpire]

Who else could offer Jones trouble? Winner of Corey and the Polish guy, Rakic?

[MilkforBrains]

Split decision doesn't mean what you guys think it means.

I know what it means. Not one judge edged it to Reyes and one gave Jones 4 out of 5? BS.

[nn586]

the judge was bribed it's really as simple as that

[project3]

reyes had this mofo

[JMath]

Latifi beat the brakes off lewis...

Lol. U wot m8? I disagree with the Jones decision too. But really?

Latifi took him down. I’ll give you that. He did a good job of holding him there. Then landing a few body shots that seemed completely harmless and the only intent behind them was to give the appearance of “working” so he could maintain the position. But “beat the brakes” off Lewis? Did he have any legitimate significant strike?
