Dominick Reyes spoke to MMA Fighting in an exclusive interview and expressed his concern over whether Jon Jones would make it to the fight in the first place. Reyes, who is coming off the biggest win of his career after knocking out Chris Weidman, is ready and set to face Jones. He said he wasn’t surprised at Jones picking him:
He even called Jones a “liability”, saying:
When talking about Jones’ recent Twitter activity, Reyes believes that Jones is just doing it to get a raise out of people and rile them up. When asked when he would like to fight Jones, Reyes said that he would like to fight on January 18th, the PPV expected to host the return of Conor McGregor:
He said that he has a birthday in December but would be willing to sacrifice his birthday, Christmas and New Year to get a title shot at Jones. Either way, a December fight isn’t happening as the month is booked with stacked cards and what could be the PPV of the year in UFC 245.
Jones is expected to return in the early quarter of next year, so expect his fight to be booked for before or after Khabib Nurmagomedov versus Tony Ferguson (which is expected to be in March or April).
