Dominick Reyes has stated that he intends to remind the referee for his UFC 247 fight Jon Jones of Jones’ infamous tendency to land eye-pokes. Understandably, Reyes’ doing so may cause the referee to keep an extra close eye on Jones in the fight.<\/p>\n

Apparently, that’s something Jones is used to.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Monday’s UFC 247 media call, Jones divulged that he’s felt referees were not on his side in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have not (made any requests), but I\u2019ve had some (expletive) situations happen in there,\u201d Jones said (via MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cI felt like I\u2019ve had guys that were very obviously not on my side in that ring, and I\u2019m not going to say their names because I don\u2019t want to give them attention. But even with that happening, I still found a way to not only win those two fights, but finish those fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn McCarthy, I felt like his energy was way off when I fought Vitor Belfort, and I found a way to finish the fight,\u201d Jones continued. \u201cI also felt the energy coming from \u2013 I won\u2019t say his name [Mike Beltran]\u2013 I feel like the energy in the second Alexander Gustafsson fight, I felt like that referee was sending me some funny-ass energy backstage and in the cage, and I finished the Gustafsson fight, too.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, I feel like if it\u2019s in God\u2019s plans for me to do what I\u2019ve been doing, it won\u2019t matter which coaches I have, which coaches Dominick has, who\u2019s the referee \u2013 none of that stuff matters. God\u2019s will is God\u2019s will, and so it won\u2019t matter who\u2019s the referee.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this time, neither John McCarthy nor Mike Beltran has responded to this comment from Jon Jones.<\/p>\n

What do you think of this remark from the light heavyweight champion?<\/p>\n
