Jon Jones Says Dominick Reyes ‘Started to Give Up’
Jones’ tweet reads, “Dominic’s absolute best moment in round two, give me those defensive points, I’ll take that.”
The champion responds to a fans tweet, “I love how whenever I have a competitive fight everyone claims the other guy won. Guess it just comes with the territory.”
Dominic out struck me by literally 12 shots. I scored the take downs, was the aggressor, control the octagon every round, had more significant strikes landed.. Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges. 😩🤷🏾♂️

Don’t be mad at the judges, be mad at Dom’s conditioning guy. man started to give up when the water got deep and is now going around doing interviews talking about being robbed. When will these young boys start taking responsibility 🤷🏾♂️ that’s what’s wrong with boys these days.

At the end of the day, I got to be a part of another classic. I’m over here in ABQ smiling from ear to ear. Having fights like that tickles my pickle, it makes me feel so alive. Makes me feel like a man. Especially when you display having balls the way I did, nothing but a win
