Dominick Reyes has called out his last opponent Jon Jones for bluffing about an upcoming matchup against fellow light heavyweight Jan Blachowicz.<\/p>\n
In the main event of UFC 247, Reyes challenged the division’s champion, Jones, for the 205-pound crown. “Bones” defended his title and claimed the decision victory, but many spectators believed “The Devastator” should have won the five-round war. The 30-year old claimed he’s ready for the rematch but Jones will not sign the contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know the UFC is on board,\u201d Reyes said to MMA Junkie<\/a>. \u201cI know I\u2019m on board. The issue is Jon right now. He\u2019s going to say he\u2019s down online, obviously on Twitter. When he gets those contracts in front of him, he\u2019s a little different.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a straight dog fight, brother. The last fight was a pure dog fight. I don\u2019t think he wants to do that again. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t think he wants these hands again. He doesn\u2019t want to get in this dog fight with me.\u201d<\/p>\n UFC president Dana White has shared his interest in organizing a rematch, but the champion apparently has other plans. Jones brushed off Reyes\u2019 claims and suggested he’s on the hunt for “fresh meat” such as Jan Blachowicz.<\/p>\n \u201cNow suddenly I\u2019m afraid of a good dogfight?\u201d Jones wrote on Twitter recently. \u201cPretty sure I walked him down for 25 minutes straight when we fought. One thing about being the champion of the world, you got to search for fresh meat on every soil. I\u2019m feeling like popping some [cherries] in Poland, haven\u2019t had that yet.\u201d<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonnyBones\/status\/1251344725132455938<\/p>\n However, because of coronavirus travel restrictions and Jon Jones’ recent arrest<\/a>, a fight against Blachowicz in Europe is a tall order. Reyes declared that he believes Jones is bluffing the alleged matchup.<\/p>\n “Hold on everyone slow down! Jon is allowed to leave the country?!?? <\/span>#youcantevenrun,” Reyes wrote mockingly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Hold on everyone slow down!
