“Cory moves when I say move.”

Jones was most recently seen in action in the headliner of July’s UFC 239 pay-per-view event, where he defeated dangerous knockout artist Thiago Santos by split decision to retain his light heavyweight title.

Prior to defeating Santos, Jon Jones (25-1 MMA) was coming off victories over Anthony Smith and Alexander Gustafsson respectively.

Meanwhile, Dominick Reyes improved his professional record to a perfect 12-0 at last month’s UFC event in Boston, defeating former middleweight kingpin Chris Weidman by first round knockout.

Since joining the UFC ranks in June of 2017, Reyes has gone 6-0 with four finishes to his credit.

The UFC has yet to make the Jones vs. Reyes title fight official. With that said, it is expected that the contest will take place in early 2020.
