Jon “Bones” Jones goes for another title defense against undefeated new comer Dominick Reyes. I expect Jones to win by TKO in the 3rd round. Flyweight Queen Valentina Shevchenko takes on Katlyn Chookagian- I expect The Bullet to win by decision 49-46. Rest of the card is decent but not great. Bektic/Ige should be a food scrap.

James Krause also stepped in on 1 days notice to fight Trevin Giles, after Antonio Arroyo pilled out after weigh ins. Talk about a beast- moving up a weight class and only 1 day notice.

Anybody have tickets? Looks like to get in the door it’s $125 and closer to the octagon around $4-500

Same place where Serra beat GSP. Maybe Reyes has a chance.

I actually agree

Jones struggles with with strikers who have some length. Reyes will absolutely cause Jones problems. I still think Jones wins but it’ll be close IMO. The gap is starting to close between Jones and these younger LHWs

Jones is such a smart fighter though. Reyes can definitely hurt him but I just don’t see jones letting him stay close. And if he does get close a couple of elbows will back him up. Jones is such a Beast. I think he is a sociopath it it works to his advantage in this game. Reyes only shot is to put serious pressure on jones and eat elbows and leg kicks. Santos had some success doing this till he got hurt. Smith was scared and didn’t even try.

I was so mad at that fight. Not that I thought Smith was that great to begin with but he really just took a 5 round arse whooping and never even attempted to engage.

Yeah. He looked defeated mentally. You have nothing to lose dude. Your only shot to win is to throw bombs. Nobody even expects you to win. Throw it all out. You can tell he isn’t a real G.

Reyes talking all that shite for the last few months was a bad idea

Now Jon Jones is focused esp after his last fight wasn’t that great

When Jones is focused he is next level

I agree and don’t have a substantive argument against that position. However, gut feeling Jones get slept tonight.
