Dominick Reyes has signed a new contract with the UFC.<\/p>\n
Reyes hasn’t fought since his UFC 247 title shot against the division’s champion Jon Jones in February. The closely contested bout left many viewers feeling that he should have won. Since them, Jones has taken a step back from his championship responsibilities in an attempt to get the UFC to pay him more.<\/p>\n
UFC President Dana White made some progress this weekend after stating that a heavyweight clash for Jones is “interesting” but confirmed he is not the next in line for a heavyweight title shot. Instead, he plans to let Francis Ngannou fight the heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic next.<\/p>\n
So what is around the corner for Jones? According to Dana White, the light heavyweight champion needs to prove himself with a rematch against Dominick Reyes. White confirmed there needs to be a 205-pound title fight before the end of 2020.<\/p>\n
Now that Reyes has signed a new contract with the UFC, an exciting rematch could be just around the corner. He announced the news on Instagram:<\/p>\n
