Dominick Reyes might be gunning for Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title. But it wasn’t that long ago he when considered the multi-time UFC champion one of his favorite fighters.
Long before the undefeated 29-year-old contender Reyes was competing inside the Octagon, he was a fan, and Jones was one of the fighters he most admired.
When examining Jones, Reyes admits there might not be a better fighter in the history of MMA. But the champ has taken years off his career over his behavior outside the cage.
Jones was stripped of his title a first time after he was suspended following a hit-and-run accident in 2015.
