Jon Jones was quick to react after his former opponent Dominick Reyes suffered a brutal knockout loss at last night’s UFC 281 event.<\/p>\n
Jones (26-1 MMA) and Reyes (12-4 MMA) of course have a history, with ‘Bones’ defeating ‘The Devastator’ in a highly competitive light heavyweight title fight at UFC 247. Although Jones was awarded the unanimous decision victory, many fans and analysts had scored the bout in favor of Reyes.<\/p>\n
Following his title fight with Jon Jones, Dominick Reyes went on to suffer a pair of nasty knockout losses to Jan Blachowicz and Jiri Prochazka in his next two Octagon<\/a> appearances. Those setbacks prompted ‘The Devastator’ to take a lengthy hiatus from the sport. After eighteen months on the sidelines, Reyes returned to action at last night’s UFC 281 event in New York.<\/p>\n Standing in the way of Reyes’ return to the win column was Ryan ‘Superman’ Spann (21-7 MMA). The 31-year-old American entered last night’s event looking to build off the momentum of his recent submission victory over Ion Cutelaba from back in May.<\/p>\n Last night’s ‘Reyes vs. Spann’ matchup resulted in another brutal knockout loss for the former light heavyweight title challenger in Reyes. ‘Superman’ dropped ‘The Devastator<\/a>‘ with a left jab and finished the job with a heavy shot to his downed opponent.<\/p>\n Immediately following the conclusion of that contest, Jon Jones took to Twitter with the following set of tweets directed at his former foe:<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t take his confidence, in his mind he beat me. Maybe that\u2019s his problem. https:\/\/t.co\/wofHtza2zv<\/a><\/p>\n — BONY (@JonnyBones) November 13, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
