Jon Jones made yet another defense of his light heavyweight championship belt with a unanimous decision win over Dominick Reyes at UFC 247 in Houston, Texas.

Reyes came out on strong and gave the champion all he could handle, but Jones' comeback over the final rounds swayed the judges to give the bout to the reigning champion.

Jones has successfully defended the belt for the third consecutive time since reclaiming his title in December 2018.

The 32-year-old has yet to truly lose a fight in the Octagon. The only blemish on his record came via disqualification against Matt Hamill and he's effectively cleaned out the light heavyweight division multiple times throughout his career.
