Dominick Reyes believes nearly beating Jon Jones at UFC 247 is the reason ‘Bones’ is moving up to heavyweight.<\/p>\n

Jones edged out a decision<\/a> over Reyes in a fight that many thought the challenger should’ve won. Yet, the judges gave it to \u2018Bones\u2019 and since that fight, he has not fought and is bulking up for a heavyweight move. According to Reyes, there were talks of booking an immediate rematch but Jones backed out and instead wanted to go to heavyweight.<\/p>\n

“The whole thing was we are going to run it back. Then the pandemic started and I don’t know what he started doing at home and started feeling a different kind of way,” Reyes said on The MMA Hour<\/a>. “All of the sudden it was, ‘no, I’m going to heavyweight, screw that, there’s too much risk, I don’t get paid enough to fight him. I’m not going to fight him without double, you have to pay me double to fight that guy again’ It was like, what, I was getting contender money, bro, screw you, I should be getting pay-per-views the next fight. It was weird how it all happen, he was down, everything was good, Dana said we were gonna do it then nope.”<\/p>\n

\"Jon<\/p>\n

Not only did Jon Jones back out of the rematch, but Dominick Reyes believes he’s the reason \u2018Bones\u2019 moved up to heavyweight.<\/p>\n

Given it seems unlikely that a rematch will happen<\/a>, Reyes admits he is disappointed as he won’t get any closure on it.<\/p>\n

“That is the reason why (he moved up to heavyweight). I don’t take any solace in it, I mean if we would’ve rematched I would’ve had closure in the situation, it is what it is,” Reyes said.<\/p>\n

After Reyes lost the decision to Jones, he went on to lose by KO to Jan Blachowicz for the belt and then suffered a KO loss to Jiri Prochazka.<\/p>\n
