Jon Jones earned a hard-fought unanimous decision victory over Dominick Reyes in the headliner of last night’s UFC 247 event in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n

The win improved Jones’ overall record to 26-1 but did not come without scrutiny.<\/p>\n

Many fans and analysts, including UFC President Dana White<\/a>, had scored the bout in favor of Dominick Reyes three rounds to two (48-47). However, all three judges in attendance ended up scoring the bout for ‘Bones’, with one judge even giving Jones four of the five rounds.<\/p>\n

While much was said about last night’s judging<\/a>, or lack there of, nobody can deny the heart and perseverance shown by Jon Jones yesterday evening.<\/p>\n

The longtime light heavyweight kingpin rallied back from a tough opening ten minutes to ultimately turn the tide on Reyes, while swaying the judges in his favor.<\/p>\n

“I think it was Gilbert Melendez and I think it was Dominick Cruz, they did an interview where they watched my Thiago Santos fight,” Jon Jones stated. \u201cThey watched it without commentary and they also watched it after some time had passed and they got to look at it without all of the emotion. And they realized maybe this fight, maybe Jon really did win this fight. So I think maybe I have set a high standard.”<\/p>\n

Jones believes that his immense success has caused fans and analysts to grade him differently.<\/p>\n

\u201dOut of thirty fights<\/a>, maybe three people have put me into an actual competitive match,\u201d Jones said. \u201cSeeing me with black eyes, seeing me get punched is not something that happens every time I show up. So people definitely get really excited, even when an opponent throws a jab. At one point I fell to the ground, I wasn\u2019t hurt and bounced back up, but the fans loved that! So it\u2019s hard when people expect great things out of you at all moments. I\u2019m still a martial artist like everyone else, I bleed, I have insecurities, I have weakness, I have pain right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jon Jones continued:<\/p>\n

“So it\u2019s hard when you\u2019re not only fighting for these records, but you\u2019re also fighting for these peoples approval. You\u2019re fighting to look extraordinary every time!”<\/p>\n
