Yeh that knockout was sickening if you also notice Dom nearly broke his neck when he hit the canvas. Random Fact: For a while Dominic Reyes was the UFC LHW Champion.
As I've always said about Dominick: He Is the Cody Garbrandt of LHW. He dedicated his entire career almost to just beating the Champ who was the Consensus greatest In his division, and even In creating the perfect style and doing the work necessary to beating the GOAT, he still couldn't achieve true greatness, lost his confidence, and ended up on a huge downfall going 0-3 In his last 3 fights losing all via KO.
Atleast Cody has made somewhat of a comeback and won a few fights in his skid. Plus tbf Cody was very reckless in the fights he lost or too hesitant. He was very capable to winning against Pedro munhoz and almost beat the guy during that scrap which led to his knockout and Even tho you can argue font Basically beat him all five rounds Cody atleast may have won 2 of those rounds enough to have done decent enough. Reyes was never the same after jones watching the Jan fight he was ok however he clearly lacked the defence and was desperate trying to knockdown Jan when that fail he just took every shot until Jan KOEd him to oblivion. Even the jiri fight he was tryna go to war instead of playing it smart the guy couldn’t adjust when it mattered
Not really the right take imo, Cody’s gym had multiple fights against cruz at that point so they had a good idea of what he was. I dont think reyes had that same perspective
Damn. This is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. The story of Dom Reyes is a sad one. A fantastic fighter and even better person, his efforts won’t be remembered by the majority of the fanbase and that’s the saddest part. Because very few, if any, reach what he did against one of the best fighters in history. And yet, he takes nothing from it. Like you said at the end of the video, we’ll be rooting for him.
I remember Reyes Jones was one of the few PPV I paid to watch, I'm completely unbiased to either one of them, predicted a Jones victory, but at the end of the fight, I had 120% faith that Reyes will have his hand raised, but as it turned out, it was the most ridiculous robbery I ever seen in my life
I had Jones winning1, 4 and 5. Reyes ran the last 2 rounds. the last round of the fight he just coasted. Never once tried to end the fight. How is that robbery if you never try to finish the fight?
To lose unfairly is one thing. To lose via tainted judging to a psychopath and Narcissist made it even worse. The way Jon strutted down the octagon exit stairs after their fight was a nauseating sight. Jon wanting old man Stipe is so telling. A humiliation via a current top contender will not be allowed. Sorry Tom. Respect him as a fighter perhaps, but how someone could 'like' Jon or be a fan of his is nuts. He is a POS.
POS person and overrated fighter. No boxing game and could make the argument he lost 3 fights. They want to make him into some unbeatable legend to keep selling ppvs and such. Jon with the current pool of talent comparably is not the GOAT or that great
Jones' Heavyweight run will not be looked back on fondly, guaranteed. Fans will give him shit for fighting old man Stipe (instead of Tom) forever and given how insecure Jon is, he won't like it one little bit.
Except the judges got it right, jon won. He just has alot of hater. And thays why it's cool to say stuff like this. Jon won 2 4 and 5. And maybe even 3...And reyes was glad there was no 6th
@@SwampOperatoroh stop it. 99 percent of people agree this was a robbery. how can you watch this fight and agree with one of the judges giving this a 49-46 for jones
Yea i had it 2-2 going i to 5. Watching live I remember saying he needs a takedown to win, cause Reyes was pushing that pace . Jones got the takedow i was like yup he got it. This was just prior to the rules really being adressed in terms of scoring too, this was when just scoring a takedown with no damage or control would win fights frequently. Soon after the scoring really started to get adressed . Its tough but that night with that scoring system Jones won because of that one take down@@SwampOperator
Except that Castillo Mayweather isn't even close to the level of robbery that this is. I dont think floyd won but you can easily argue a draw. A better example would be like lennox leewis vs. Holyfield that was awful
The sadest thing is that Dominic just couldn't move on from being robbed 😢 Dudes fighting JBJ every time he's inside the octagon, and not the opponent he's matched with, it's why he keeps lossing

Saddest thing about Reye's downfall might be that he actually knocked Jiri out with an up kick, but Jiri fell on top of him and the ref didn't know Jiri was out and he recovered in time.
@@memebig8796 sure, but if he hit the canvas and not land on top of Dom, he was done for. All credit to Jiri for being an animal, just saying, tough way to lose for Dom and take a career altering ko
Actually Jones had the higher striking percentage in almost every round... Reyes hit AIR more than he hit Jones.... The whole world gassed him up like he really defeated Jones and his Ego got the Best of him.... He came at Jan like he was Hot Shit but Jan showed him that he was Nothing but a Cold Fart😅. Spann confirmed it.
Especially in that 2nd round. Jon was like Ali. Making him miss all them shots but people THINK they landed. I saw him slip at least 4 punches in that one combo
Nice work Lucas. It's refreshing to have this mini docomentary from you from time to time. It would be a lot cooler if you do this more often 👍 Anthony Smith coudn't catch a break 😂
hahaha 😅no dude he didn't TAKE the title from Jones//thinking you can split rounds with the champ and choose not to engage in the championship rounds and lose both championship rounds will never win anyone a title plus Jiri elbow will haunt Dom//
Look, PED-Jones fangirl admitting that Reyes won 3 out of 5 rounds. That's why we say PED-Jones is a fraud. Thanks for the confession.@@active.7universal
Problem with Reyes is his chin and Jon lacked power to crack that chin that all it is. After Jon he fought elites who had knockout power hence the downfall
Thats what every one of us though. When Jiri koed Volkan in his first fight in the UFC we tought it couldnt get much worse than that, lights went fkn out. But Reyes..he was basically on the other side. Those bombs are unreal.
You're right, this is exactly why that "you've got to definitively beat the champ" argument is BS. You have to watch and judge title fights as if neither man is champ. If one guy barely beats the champ, he wins.
Watching the 'beat the champ' argument get dismantled recently has been satisfying to watch. Just like the 'TD's should count for more in fights because of effort' argument fans used to make for fighters winning/losing fights because of TDs and control against damage which has all but disappeared from public discourse.
let me ask you this ...would this even be a discussion if this was a non title fight with two unnamed fighters.....for instance if we call jon jones ted and dominic reyes bill and ted is announced the winner.....i could guarantee that this would go down in the books as just another fight..... my point is some fights matter more than others....therefore certain things will come into play according to this fight that happened.... do you watch the NHL (hockey).... for example some guy had taken a slap shot to score into an empty net in the closing seconds of a game....what happened next was the player got a dirty hit for doing that..... what was the difference of the player slapping the puck into the empty net vs just taking a wrist shot into the empty net. to me a goal is a goal but apparently this is some unwritten hockey rule that you shouldn't do... my point here is every scenario is different...
@@donovans6472 Nope. It would have still been considered a robbery. Its because Jones is one of the GOATs in MMA and because this fight is part of his legacy, its why people still talk about it.
The loss to Jon Jones was unfortunate but it was not the downfall of Dominick Reyes, going into MMA with american football as a base was, starting with that much brain damage is like building a house on sand.
All the Bum Bones jones meat riders really need to sit down and watch this fight super close and realize that their "goat" Legitimately lost this fight. No one can say this was close because anyone who watches this and sees and uses common sense will know that Bum Bones Jones got dogged on rounds 1, 2, and 3, so womp womp.
That druggy had a fix-fight with Gane which was definitely awful after docking Francis for a whole year, now he's docking Aspinall. That druggy is washed.@@laylowfal
@@laylowfalGane was a favorable matchup for Jones. Dude got wrestled to a decision by a one-legged Ngannou. It’s so obvious Jones is cherry-picking his opponents at HW. Just look at how Jones sat out for 3 years until Ngannou was finally gone, doesn’t wanna fight Aspinall or Pavlovich, wants to fight old man Stipe instead and then retire.
I see a lot of similarity between Dominick Reyes and Cody Garbrandt. The perfect style to beat the goat, but not to beat the other contenders, so unforgiving
6:48 watching this back, as Jones won the fight, & is now the UFC Heavyweight Champion, & Reyes went onto lose every fight since, makes you feel what Jones is saying was true now. A pawn in the story of Jones legacy
Nah I don't see Reyes as a pawn in Jones' story. I see the Reyes fight as more of an asterisk in Jon's legacy. Any poll you look at will be in Reyes' favor that he won the fight. Most if not all MMA channels, commentators and experts have Reyes winning first 3 rounds. The CEO of the company said himself he thought Reyes won the fight. The biggest shame in this robbery is we could've gotten a Jones vs Reyes 2 and 3, which even though I am a huge Dominic Reyes fan, I believe Jon would've won the next two.
@@Megavars well I thought Jones won the night of the fight, I called it before they did, you can’t be forced backstage the entire time & win, jones was landing the better % of strikes while half of what Reyes threw actually missed or was barley landing, yes he landed a lot, but a lot of those strikes where glancing, the reply of round #2 shows that Reyes actually didn’t land that big barrage that looked like he landed live but actually didn’t & then round 4-5 Jones clearly won.
I nearly cried watching this mostly because this is exactly what i have been thinking ever since that glorious night where he undeniably beat the most privileged fighter in the ufc history but was brutally robbed of a clear 48-47 score card in his favor and how his career went from glory to dread especially by the hands of a judge who presented a 49-46 score card in favor of Jon Jones, which at the time seemed so blatantly wrong that my emotions after that fight went from extreme anger to cynical laughter pertaining to the fact that to beat Jon Jones, you also have to beat the opinions of 3 or at least 2 incompetent judges, which unfortunately Dominic wasn’t able to accomplish despite clearly winning the fight no more and no less than 3-2 or 48-47 and ironically even Tiago Santos, who’s fight with Jones was definitely not nearly as controversial, was able to convince at least one of the judges in his favor, thus losing a split decision whereas Reyes was egregiously given a unanimous decision loss despite that even the vast majority of the media members and literally every MMA fan, whose opinion i consider valid, unequivocally and unanimously thought that Dominic won that fight. Little did he and all of us know that to beat the biggest cheater in MMA history, you have to get him out of there because otherwise, you’re not fighting a fair one on one fight; rather, it’s more like one against 4 or 3 if you’re lucky to get a split decision loss. Ever since that triumph that quickly turned into tragedy, I would occasionally think about Dominic and how his life could have been different had he not been viciously robbed of something he truly deserved to win… Now I am not sure what happened to his fight with Ulberg but to be honest, I don’t know if I even want to see Dominic go against that monster because you said it well another loss and he will likely be terminated from his assignment with the UFC and more likely than not at this stage in his career fighting someone like Ulberg will likely result in another KO loss and unnecessary brain damage to one of the most promising contenders that was so close to at least tasting the glory and at least some financial benefits that come with having that UFC belt. Great documentary
It could be a very different story if he actually won that decision and kept his confidence of his undefeated status alongside with the glory of officially beating Jon Jones by decision, his confidence level would be higher in the rematch, and Jones's confidence could be finally shattered as we know outside of the cage Jones is known for scandals like hiding under cage and steroids, and that inside the octagon loss after many outside of octagon losses could perhaps hindered Jones mentally in the rematch, we also know styles make fights so Reyes could potentially win the Jones rematch too with the confidence boost.
@@timurjack8773 confidence does not fix lack of head defense. reyes defense sucks. thats why he gets ko'd. has nothing to do with the jon jones fight result.
reyes beating jon is more so to do with the fact that jon has been at the top for so long and everyone who fights him has had their entire career to prepare for him.. Jones was fighting and has been dominant far before reyes was even a name.. also Jon never had KO power to knock out reyes anyways.. and yes I do believe if we can say Reyes lost confidence so he kept losing we can also say Jon lost motivation for being on top of the LHW division for so long.. I mean he did beat gane terribly
@@ABeastGaming he beat gane who if I remember correctly got out wrestled by Nganou so kudos to Jones for beating one of the worst wrestlers in the division but at least he didn’t pop dirty afterwards so that’s big for him because when usada came in, Jonny boy didn’t look so invincible anymore but that’s old news but what’s not old news is how blatantly he’s been ducking a real current best heavyweight and a true # 1 contender Tommy boy, I mean Bones’ twitter back n forth with Aspinal is downright embarrassing and I don’t even blame him for not wanting to fight Tom Aspinal as long as he stops pretending that beating old and decrepit Stipe does anything for his forever tarnished legacy anyway, vacates the belt like Prochaczka and Hill did, and has his retirement money fight with once upon a time great Stipe Miocic who not only got brutally KO’d in his last fight but also is fast approaching 4 years!!! since it took place and beating him does absolutely nothing for Jones’ legacy, I mean he might as well call out Shogun out of retirement since they have a history and shogun once was also considered a real badass, or better yet just vacate the belt and retire already for all I (and any true mma fan who respects the sport and knows everything I’m saying here is FACTS) care… honestly if I never see Jones compete again, I would not lose any sleep over it… ironically the way he engaged with Aspinal on social media he literally sounded like he already lost the fight by saying he doesn’t want to be one of those guys who stays too long in the sport and gets unnecessary brain damage because if a fighter keeps winning nobody ever thinks they stay too long but whatever… I can go on and on about Jon “the dirtbag” Jones but it is mind boggling that he still has fans who back him as he has been ducking the real challenge as blatantly as he had his first heavyweight fight taking 2 plus years to get there and conveniently shortly after Nganou left for PFL… I wouldn’t even mind Bones so much if he embraced his real self which is a party animal dirtbag cheater who puts hands on his spouse instead of hiding behind the Bible every time 💩 hit the fan but at this point honestly who cares… he can consider himself a 🐐 and try to convince himself that beating a geriatric version of stipe does anything for his legacy; I guess one last thing I would like better than jones just retiring after vacating his belt with his tail between his legal when Aspinal is mentioned, I would be so overjoyed if Stipe flat lines Ko’s him in the very first round after the entire buildup of jones and stipe, Jonny literally giving stipe literally zero chance - oh how amazing would it be to see Bones’ lifeless body face planted on the canvas - that would literally be poetic justice for all of his bs and epitomize his legacy perfectly - but either way, if he just vacated and never fought again would be a close second best option because we know he is never fighting Aspinal - ALL FACTS
@@themadman6667people who say that winning/confidence wouldn't have prevented getting KO'd are severely underestimating the mental aspect of fighting.
BS...video. There's many great fighters that lost fights and came back to become World Champions. For example Manny Pacquiao. He was brutally knocked out and came back to be the World Champion. So your video is NONSENSE...😅😂
The fight was absolutely a robbery but losing a decision didn’t make him a worse fighter the truth is Reyes came up in a shallow era of lhw (anthony smith got a title shot) so it wasn’t much competition for him then he fought better competition in Jan and JIRI would have killed that version of Jon Jones Reyes fought they knocked him out and took his chin from all the damage
i think most of the judges in the UFC to this day still judge by using the old MMA/boxing rules. theres no way Reyes lost that fight . damage trumps all by a far jog in scoring yet we still get wins from pushing the pace and take downs that lead to no damage.
Robbed this guy man. And what bloody irritates me to the highest levels, is that this was allowed when in it was clear as daylight he was head and shoulders above Jones. Corruption and match fixing that destroyed an amazing fighter.
IDK. After that fight he did go down. It’s not like he could overcome that loss and kept being competitive. Y’all can say whatever you want, but that’s not a resumee from a true champion. I mean, look the Charles Phoenix DuBronx, dude reinvented himself after a shitty record. Reyes wasn’t built for it, just like Gustafson
This was a very perfect example of 'styles make fights'. Reyes matched up very well with Jon. As good as Jon is he was never much of a KO threat and Reyes also stuffed seven of Jon's takedowns, minimizing Jon's biggest weapon. But look what happened in Reyes' last 3 fights. All losses by KO/TKO, something that Jon couldn't do.
Another explanation is that Jones is past his prime and stopped using PEDs, explaining his lack-luster performance not just against Reyes, but Santos as well who blew out his knees in their fight.
If youre looking at a technical scorecard this fight shouldve been either 3-2 reyes, but i had the 5th round 10-8 jones which would make it a draw and with the fact that jon was advancing the whole fight and may of reyes’ significant strikes were checked leg kicks and the fact that in a draw the champion wins i think jones won the fight
i believe you can see a noticeable difference in his body language after his fight with Jiri. losing to Jan hurt but it wasnt devastating. his fight with Jiri he took an absolute beating the injury report was unreal. crushed orbital KO'd face first into the canvas -- that kinda beating changes a man.
I believe he should have retire after that fight tbh. He almost died and the way he later explained the impact of those bombs was quite disturbing. Jiri seriously hurt him.
Reyes chin got completely destroyed after that fight. It explains why Ryan Spann was able to KO him with a jab. Sadly, I don't think Reyes ever wins a fight again. Doesn't help that his management is awful and keeps booking him against power punchers that'll keep cracking his already destroyed chin.
I mean, regardless of how this all played out. Jan still KO’s Reyes weather he had the belt or not. So he becomes the Holly Holm of LHW, beats the consensus GOAT and then gets starched immediately the next fight
Tony fell off after becoming one of the best LW's ever. He became famous and has a dedicated fan base. His downfall is sad but it's not as bad as Dom who was a one hit wonder, got robbed brutally and KO'd 3 times in a row.
Tony has had a tough downfall but it came after years of being one of the best lightweights of his time. He was just unfortunate with injuries and with McGregor's hype fucking up the whole lightweight division for a bit, as well as all the times his fights with Khabib were cancelled. His career is sad, but not at the same level.
@lucastracymma8764 nah its definitely Tony, with all the khabib matches that got canceled and him falling over the cord, 12 fight win streak to never actually touch real ufc gold and now a 7 loss fight streak.. Reyes is a sad story too though
I think coming from football can be terrible for your chin. You can only take so many shots. You come in from the world of football, there's already a lot of holes in your punch card. Brendan Schaub couldn't take a punch either. Marcus Jones was really chinny too.
"Reyes grew up in a pretty rough area" bro, I'm from his area of the high desert, it wasn't that bad 😂 I grew up in Hesperia, Adelanto and Apple Valley. It wasn't the best, but it's not like we were in Chicago or some shit lol
Watch the fight without commentry. The only reason ppl thought reyes won is cause you got Joe Rogan talking nonsense about reyes finding his range early while he misses every shot or they're blocked by Jon. Reyes through a lot and was real busy but if they're not scoring strikes then all that's happening is "the man's tired" Reyes spent the last 2 rounds running. Fortunately the judges don't hear the commentary and scored the fight correctly.
Current day analysis of the fight shows Jon Jones won this pretty clearly, he had a higher striking percentage among other things. He wasn’t robbed and quite honestly, I think the big irony in this is that all of you casuals ended up boosting his head and giving him a victim mindset, where he felt like he was stripped of something he was entitled too. He became a more passive man in general after this, and you can see it in his interviews all the way to the fights themselves
Great video Lucas👍Reyes had such promise. This sport can be so brutal and unpredictable. It's amazing how 1 loss, could change a fighter forever. So sad to see
So true 😂 but it’s strange that those controversial decisions were always made in Dana’s favour 😏 He is not a Strickland fan ,who Is the peoples champ, he prefers the new South African 🇿🇦 market with Dircus. And yeah, Bones is the same with his huge popularity. Better to have a superstar than an Honest politic not correct Strickland
i feel for dominick reyes. i’m having a tough season right now. it’s my senior year and right now i don’t feel like this path is for me. i wanted to wrestle in college and go in dwcs but i’m not sure this is the path for me
Don’t feel down homie always remember that fire in you and why you want to start it. Better to give it all your go and develop a tough grit mind where you can do well
Can u imagine putting everything you've got into beating the goat leaving it all in the cage clearly win the fight but 3 judges say you haven't. Must be soul destroying
Anthony smith got a good point tbh, jones skill set individually isnt that great, so in other words hes average yet beats everyone, that's what happens when people take peds, the average becomes better.
IMO the most Tragic Downfall is Renan Barao, Not sure if there's a video on him yet but it def doesn't get talked about enough, 30 fight unbeaten streak, P4P #1 fighter with dominance being compared to the likes of Silva & GSP, Then the TJ fight happened, And dude all of a sudden looks like an amateur the rest of his career, Losing damn near every fight. Has to be one of the hardest fall offs in MMA history of such a high caliber fighter, So hard that most people don't even recognize the name Renan Barao.
this is the fight that ended jon jones career and his legacy. this is why he's actively dodging young fighters and going after slugs like Ciryl Gane and Stipe.
I honestly think so too. I think this fight definitely got to Jon, making him realize that he wasn’t the same fighter without the PEDs. This will always cloud his legacy.
I think a lot of Reyes' post Bones fight carreer can be attributed to the fact that in the 4th and 5th round he looked GASSED so bad. And he seemed a lot more reserved after that, especially against Jan Blacovich Edit: a lot of people also don't give Jan much credit for absolutely DESTROYING Reyes because of where both men ended up, but for that short period of time Jan looked unbeatable until Glover came in. Also proved to be a really tough fight for Ankalaev
Again, I saw the fight and thought Reyes won, only because I wanted him to win just like Alexander Gustafsson. Since then I have watched it 3 more times over the years. Now biased removed watching the fight for the last time today, it is clear Jon won.
Guys please understand that our brains are biased towards what we last saw, Jon won 4-5 that's why it seems that way. The rules of UFC MMA state that you only need to win 3 of 5 rounds doesn't matter in what order. Dom did that convincingly
Showed this fight to my friends all casuals. All said Reyes won the first three except for one. His only argument for Jones winning was the leg kicks. After getting into UFC more he rewatched the fight, texted me and said “49-46 is fucking outrageous.”
Most fans don't understand the Texas State rules in MMA. The same thing happened with Izzy vs Whittaker 2. MMA fans still can't fathom effective aggressiveness and fight are control are weighed the same as effective grappling and effective striking. But casuals keep casualin'
@@GoodStuff1992 to be fair though most MMA fans casual or not hate “ring generalship” in boxing yet it’s a criteria for scoring. Just goes to show how stupid it all is.
I remember my first time betting on mma was 281 and I picked Ryan Spann by KO and another for a 1st round finish. It's one of those things that happens to someone where you just know they are finished and not the same. From the heartbreak of the Jones fight, and the way his last 2 fights ended, especially the Jiri one, it just felt like he would never recover from that streak. If he was to fight Ulberg he'd get hurt bad. Just like Tony. After Gaethje he was never recovering.
Thank you sir....!!! I was pissed about that fight !! And i was loving how he was piecing jones up. And lets keep a buck. Gustafson put them paws on him too and got ROBBED !!! STRAIGHT EXPOSED JON. ITS FUNNY HOW THEY ACT THIS STUFF DIDNT REALLY HAPPEN.

Atleast Cody has made somewhat of a comeback and won a few fights in his skid. Plus tbf Cody was very reckless in the fights he lost or too hesitant. He was very capable to winning against Pedro munhoz and almost beat the guy during that scrap which led to his knockout and Even tho you can argue font Basically beat him all five rounds Cody atleast may have won 2 of those rounds enough to have done decent enough. Reyes was never the same after jones watching the Jan fight he was ok however he clearly lacked the defence and was desperate trying to knockdown Jan when that fail he just took every shot until Jan KOEd him to oblivion. Even the jiri fight he was tryna go to war instead of playing it smart the guy couldn’t adjust when it mattered
I totally agree but at least Cody was a champ
We know. We just watched the vid. Npc
I always saying that too, so I also want some credit.
Just kidding. I'm just messing around
✌️😅
Not really the right take imo, Cody’s gym had multiple fights against cruz at that point so they had a good idea of what he was. I dont think reyes had that same perspective
Damn. This is one of the best videos you’ve ever made. The story of Dom Reyes is a sad one. A fantastic fighter and even better person, his efforts won’t be remembered by the majority of the fanbase and that’s the saddest part. Because very few, if any, reach what he did against one of the best fighters in history. And yet, he takes nothing from it. Like you said at the end of the video, we’ll be rooting for him.
You know its serious when Lucas pulls out the After dark instrumental 🤣
my god thank you for this comment i spent like 10 minutes trying to find out why that sounded so familiar
Haha
I remember Reyes Jones was one of the few PPV I paid to watch, I'm completely unbiased to either one of them, predicted a Jones victory, but at the end of the fight, I had 120% faith that Reyes will have his hand raised, but as it turned out, it was the most ridiculous robbery I ever seen in my life
to those who haven’t actually watched this fight THIS WAS ACTUALLY A ROBBERY
hahahaha nooop
Nah, very close fight
@@alexvukasin9769clear 48-47 with no argument for Jones to win the first 3 so robbery lol
@@alexvukasin9769 I truly dont think the first 3 were close they were competitve not close
I had Jones winning1, 4 and 5. Reyes ran the last 2 rounds. the last round of the fight he just coasted. Never once tried to end the fight. How is that robbery if you never try to finish the fight?
To lose unfairly is one thing. To lose via tainted judging to a psychopath and Narcissist made it even worse. The way Jon strutted down the octagon exit stairs after their fight was a nauseating sight. Jon wanting old man Stipe is so telling. A humiliation via a current top contender will not be allowed. Sorry Tom.
Respect him as a fighter perhaps, but how someone could 'like' Jon or be a fan of his is nuts. He is a POS.
POS person and overrated fighter. No boxing game and could make the argument he lost 3 fights. They want to make him into some unbeatable legend to keep selling ppvs and such. Jon with the current pool of talent comparably is not the GOAT or that great
Jones' Heavyweight run will not be looked back on fondly, guaranteed. Fans will give him shit for fighting old man Stipe (instead of Tom) forever and given how insecure Jon is, he won't like it one little bit.
It’s crazy that if it weren’t for 3 people scoring the fight wrong then his life would have been completely different
That’s life man
Except the judges got it right, jon won. He just has alot of hater. And thays why it's cool to say stuff like this.
Jon won 2 4 and 5. And maybe even 3...And reyes was glad there was no 6th
@@SwampOperatoroh stop it. 99 percent of people agree this was a robbery. how can you watch this fight and agree with one of the judges giving this a 49-46 for jones
Yea i had it 2-2 going i to 5. Watching live I remember saying he needs a takedown to win, cause Reyes was pushing that pace . Jones got the takedow i was like yup he got it. This was just prior to the rules really being adressed in terms of scoring too, this was when just scoring a takedown with no damage or control would win fights frequently. Soon after the scoring really started to get adressed . Its tough but that night with that scoring system Jones won because of that one take down@@SwampOperator
@@SwampOperator why are you lying
more documentaries like this
Biggest robbery of all of MMA this is equivalent to the Luis Castillo maywether fight

Except that Castillo Mayweather isn't even close to the level of robbery that this is. I dont think floyd won but you can easily argue a draw. A better example would be like lennox leewis vs. Holyfield that was awful
@@eldgepollard5906 I think you’re right only for the fact that this was a without a doubt 100% a Reyes win
Castillo outworked an injured Mayweather and was robbed of that win.
I think this is even worse. There's literally no argument to make for Jon.
The sadest thing is that Dominic just couldn't move on from being robbed 😢
Dudes fighting JBJ every time he's inside the octagon, and not the opponent he's matched with, it's why he keeps lossing
Good point
people keep saying this but keep ignoring that reyes just doesnt have good defense lol

@@TreySarverhow you like jones boot in your mouth?The Sean Strickland fight just showed you a jab won’t win you a fight even if your champ. Jones was even less effective than Strickland
@@TreySarver Shut up. Reyes won and most MMA TH-camrs will say they thought Reyes won, they just say Jones 'won' because its the official result. But only gullible and stupid people think official results are conversation enders.

So, of course, they are going to show some bias towards the active champion whom the company trys so much to advertise him
Big shame that he changed team after the jones fight 😔, hope he gets a win soon and regains form
Saddest thing about Reye's downfall might be that he actually knocked Jiri out with an up kick, but Jiri fell on top of him and the ref didn't know Jiri was out and he recovered in time.
Bro recovered in a second
Jiri recovered the moment his head hit the canvas
Are y’all gonna talk yourselves into believing that Reyes is undefeated? 🤣
@@memebig8796 sure, but if he hit the canvas and not land on top of Dom, he was done for. All credit to Jiri for being an animal, just saying, tough way to lose for Dom and take a career altering ko
Actually Jones had the higher striking percentage in almost every round... Reyes hit AIR more than he hit Jones.... The whole world gassed him up like he really defeated Jones and his Ego got the Best of him.... He came at Jan like he was Hot Shit but Jan showed him that he was Nothing but a Cold Fart😅. Spann confirmed it.
Facts
Especially in that 2nd round. Jon was like Ali. Making him miss all them shots but people THINK they landed. I saw him slip at least 4 punches in that one combo
Nice work Lucas. It's refreshing to have this mini docomentary from you from time to time. It would be a lot cooler if you do this more often 👍
Anthony Smith coudn't catch a break 😂
PEDS-Jones lost that fight to Reyes, he knows it deep, deep down in his heart, that loss will haunt him for life.
People with a personality disorder don't have regrets.
😂😂😂
hahaha 😅no dude he didn't TAKE the title from Jones//thinking you can split rounds with the champ and choose not to engage in the championship rounds and lose both championship rounds will never win anyone a title plus Jiri elbow will haunt Dom//
Look, PED-Jones fangirl admitting that Reyes won 3 out of 5 rounds. That's why we say PED-Jones is a fraud. Thanks for the confession.@@active.7universal
Jones is a sociopath so yea that's not haunting him anytime soon.
This is the best Lucas's videos have ever looked.
Problem with Reyes is his chin and Jon lacked power to crack that chin that all it is. After Jon he fought elites who had knockout power hence the downfall
Yeh this sound like it could be the case. He had the perfect style for Jones not neccessarily for everyone else.
Yh hes not exactly power striker but hes not a technical one too hes a pure brawler. Brawlers always make technical fighters like jon cautious
He just fought genetic powerhouses like Jan and Jiri. Compared to them he was made of rubber
His recent win was HUGE. So Reyes is not falling off. He looks great now!🎉
There was no coming back after that Jiri ko. That shit was retirement material. I literally thought that I had seen the first death in the octagon.
Thats what every one of us though. When Jiri koed Volkan in his first fight in the UFC we tought it couldnt get much worse than that, lights went fkn out. But Reyes..he was basically on the other side. Those bombs are unreal.
Well, Reyes is back with a win.
You're right, this is exactly why that "you've got to definitively beat the champ" argument is BS. You have to watch and judge title fights as if neither man is champ. If one guy barely beats the champ, he wins.
Watching the 'beat the champ' argument get dismantled recently has been satisfying to watch. Just like the 'TD's should count for more in fights because of effort' argument fans used to make for fighters winning/losing fights because of TDs and control against damage which has all but disappeared from public discourse.
let me ask you this ...would this even be a discussion if this was a non title fight with two unnamed fighters.....for instance if we call jon jones ted and dominic reyes bill and ted is announced the winner.....i could guarantee that this would go down in the books as just another fight.....
my point is some fights matter more than others....therefore certain things will come into play according to this fight that happened....
do you watch the NHL (hockey).... for example some guy had taken a slap shot to score into an empty net in the closing seconds of a game....what happened next was the player got a dirty hit for doing that..... what was the difference of the player slapping the puck into the empty net vs just taking a wrist shot into the empty net. to me a goal is a goal but apparently this is some unwritten hockey rule that you shouldn't do... my point here is every scenario is different...
@@donovans6472 Nope. It would have still been considered a robbery. Its because Jones is one of the GOATs in MMA and because this fight is part of his legacy, its why people still talk about it.
The loss to Jon Jones was unfortunate but it was not the downfall of Dominick Reyes, going into MMA with american football as a base was, starting with that much brain damage is like building a house on sand.
Also, barely winning OR losing against the # 4th ranked opponent in your division certainly doesn't qualify you as a GOAT. 🤣
Imagine if Aspinall has the same fate, people were really talking about Reyes in the same way.
The most disgraceful moment in UFC history. Dominique Reyes outclassed Johns. Total robbery😤 Glad he is back stronger
I love this style of video you should definitely do more of it.
Facts
Reyes beat Jon Jones. Everyone knows it including Jon. Dom's career trajectory has been irrevocably ruined by bent judges

1. Putting a really good effort in his Videos
2. *AngryAlbinoMMA*
All the Bum Bones jones meat riders really need to sit down and watch this fight super close and realize that their "goat" Legitimately lost this fight.

Keep this editor fr fr
That was the greatest robbery in fight-sport history. Jones has been worse since that fight as well.
Subbing a hw in r1 he’s so much worse now 😢
That druggy had a fix-fight with Gane which was definitely awful after docking Francis for a whole year, now he's docking Aspinall. That druggy is washed.@@laylowfal
@@laylowfaltalk that talk 👏
Gsp vs hendricks was far worse n theres been loads of worse decisions over the years imo.
@@laylowfalGane was a favorable matchup for Jones. Dude got wrestled to a decision by a one-legged Ngannou. It’s so obvious Jones is cherry-picking his opponents at HW. Just look at how Jones sat out for 3 years until Ngannou was finally gone, doesn’t wanna fight Aspinall or Pavlovich, wants to fight old man Stipe instead and then retire.
I see a lot of similarity between Dominick Reyes and Cody Garbrandt. The perfect style to beat the goat, but not to beat the other contenders, so unforgiving
6:48 watching this back, as Jones won the fight, & is now the UFC Heavyweight Champion, & Reyes went onto lose every fight since, makes you feel what Jones is saying was true now. A pawn in the story of Jones legacy
Nah I don't see Reyes as a pawn in Jones' story. I see the Reyes fight as more of an asterisk in Jon's legacy. Any poll you look at will be in Reyes' favor that he won the fight. Most if not all MMA channels, commentators and experts have Reyes winning first 3 rounds. The CEO of the company said himself he thought Reyes won the fight.
The biggest shame in this robbery is we could've gotten a Jones vs Reyes 2 and 3, which even though I am a huge Dominic Reyes fan, I believe Jon would've won the next two.
@@Megavars well I thought Jones won the night of the fight, I called it before they did, you can’t be forced backstage the entire time & win, jones was landing the better % of strikes while half of what Reyes threw actually missed or was barley landing, yes he landed a lot, but a lot of those strikes where glancing, the reply of round #2 shows that Reyes actually didn’t land that big barrage that looked like he landed live but actually didn’t & then round 4-5 Jones clearly won.
Production level on this is shining through really stepping up
That result broke Reyes. He will never be the same again.
I nearly cried watching this mostly because this is exactly what i have been thinking ever since that glorious night where he undeniably beat the most privileged fighter in the ufc history but was brutally robbed of a clear 48-47 score card in his favor and how his career went from glory to dread especially by the hands of a judge who presented a 49-46 score card in favor of Jon Jones, which at the time seemed so blatantly wrong that my emotions after that fight went from extreme anger to cynical laughter pertaining to the fact that to beat Jon Jones, you also have to beat the opinions of 3 or at least 2 incompetent judges, which unfortunately Dominic wasn’t able to accomplish despite clearly winning the fight no more and no less than 3-2 or 48-47 and ironically even Tiago Santos, who’s fight with Jones was definitely not nearly as controversial, was able to convince at least one of the judges in his favor, thus losing a split decision whereas Reyes was egregiously given a unanimous decision loss despite that even the vast majority of the media members and literally every MMA fan, whose opinion i consider valid, unequivocally and unanimously thought that Dominic won that fight. Little did he and all of us know that to beat the biggest cheater in MMA history, you have to get him out of there because otherwise, you’re not fighting a fair one on one fight; rather, it’s more like one against 4 or 3 if you’re lucky to get a split decision loss.
Ever since that triumph that quickly turned into tragedy, I would occasionally think about Dominic and how his life could have been different had he not been viciously robbed of something he truly deserved to win…
Now I am not sure what happened to his fight with Ulberg but to be honest, I don’t know if I even want to see Dominic go against that monster because you said it well another loss and he will likely be terminated from his assignment with the UFC and more likely than not at this stage in his career fighting someone like Ulberg will likely result in another KO loss and unnecessary brain damage to one of the most promising contenders that was so close to at least tasting the glory and at least some financial benefits that come with having that UFC belt.
Great documentary
It could be a very different story if he actually won that decision and kept his confidence of his undefeated status alongside with the glory of officially beating Jon Jones by decision, his confidence level would be higher in the rematch, and Jones's confidence could be finally shattered as we know outside of the cage Jones is known for scandals like hiding under cage and steroids, and that inside the octagon loss after many outside of octagon losses could perhaps hindered Jones mentally in the rematch, we also know styles make fights so Reyes could potentially win the Jones rematch too with the confidence boost.
@@timurjack8773 confidence does not fix lack of head defense. reyes defense sucks. thats why he gets ko'd. has nothing to do with the jon jones fight result.
reyes beating jon is more so to do with the fact that jon has been at the top for so long and everyone who fights him has had their entire career to prepare for him.. Jones was fighting and has been dominant far before reyes was even a name.. also Jon never had KO power to knock out reyes anyways.. and yes I do believe if we can say Reyes lost confidence so he kept losing we can also say Jon lost motivation for being on top of the LHW division for so long.. I mean he did beat gane terribly
@@ABeastGaming he beat gane who if I remember correctly got out wrestled by Nganou so kudos to Jones for beating one of the worst wrestlers in the division but at least he didn’t pop dirty afterwards so that’s big for him because when usada came in, Jonny boy didn’t look so invincible anymore but that’s old news but what’s not old news is how blatantly he’s been ducking a real current best heavyweight and a true # 1 contender Tommy boy, I mean Bones’ twitter back n forth with Aspinal is downright embarrassing and I don’t even blame him for not wanting to fight Tom Aspinal as long as he stops pretending that beating old and decrepit Stipe does anything for his forever tarnished legacy anyway, vacates the belt like Prochaczka and Hill did, and has his retirement money fight with once upon a time great Stipe Miocic who not only got brutally KO’d in his last fight but also is fast approaching 4 years!!! since it took place and beating him does absolutely nothing for Jones’ legacy, I mean he might as well call out Shogun out of retirement since they have a history and shogun once was also considered a real badass, or better yet just vacate the belt and retire already for all I (and any true mma fan who respects the sport and knows everything I’m saying here is FACTS) care… honestly if I never see Jones compete again, I would not lose any sleep over it… ironically the way he engaged with Aspinal on social media he literally sounded like he already lost the fight by saying he doesn’t want to be one of those guys who stays too long in the sport and gets unnecessary brain damage because if a fighter keeps winning nobody ever thinks they stay too long but whatever… I can go on and on about Jon “the dirtbag” Jones but it is mind boggling that he still has fans who back him as he has been ducking the real challenge as blatantly as he had his first heavyweight fight taking 2 plus years to get there and conveniently shortly after Nganou left for PFL… I wouldn’t even mind Bones so much if he embraced his real self which is a party animal dirtbag cheater who puts hands on his spouse instead of hiding behind the Bible every time 💩 hit the fan but at this point honestly who cares… he can consider himself a 🐐 and try to convince himself that beating a geriatric version of stipe does anything for his legacy; I guess one last thing I would like better than jones just retiring after vacating his belt with his tail between his legal when Aspinal is mentioned, I would be so overjoyed if Stipe flat lines Ko’s him in the very first round after the entire buildup of jones and stipe, Jonny literally giving stipe literally zero chance - oh how amazing would it be to see Bones’ lifeless body face planted on the canvas - that would literally be poetic justice for all of his bs and epitomize his legacy perfectly - but either way, if he just vacated and never fought again would be a close second best option because we know he is never fighting Aspinal - ALL FACTS
@@themadman6667people who say that winning/confidence wouldn't have prevented getting KO'd are severely underestimating the mental aspect of fighting.
Jones did NOT dominate any round.
This robbery obviously broke him mentally
BS...video. There's many great fighters that lost fights and came back to become World Champions. For example Manny Pacquiao. He was brutally knocked out and came back to be the World Champion. So your video is NONSENSE...😅😂
The fight was absolutely a robbery but losing a decision didn’t make him a worse fighter the truth is Reyes came up in a shallow era of lhw (anthony smith got a title shot) so it wasn’t much competition for him then he fought better competition in Jan and JIRI would have killed that version of Jon Jones Reyes fought they knocked him out and took his chin from all the damage
Only a couple minutes in but I can tell already this documentary is pretty sweet, well done Lucas
i think most of the judges in the UFC to this day still judge by using the old MMA/boxing rules. theres no way Reyes lost that fight . damage trumps all by a far jog in scoring yet we still get wins from pushing the pace and take downs that lead to no damage.
I Never knew that he had such amazing names in his 6 wins he had in the ufc. Lucas Tracy’s Documentaries never disappoint.
Since this... Reyes has TKO'd Jacoby and his feeling good about himself again... Im interested to see where he goes...
Well done video Lucas....we need more videos like this!
IMO he prob studied TF out of Jon jones so much he figured out his fighting style, but no so much with the other fighters…..
I like the format of this video. I think you should more videos in this style, it turned out very cool.
Robbed this guy man. And what bloody irritates me to the highest levels, is that this was allowed when in it was clear as daylight he was head and shoulders above Jones. Corruption and match fixing that destroyed an amazing fighter.
I fucking hate robberys, sometimes such as this case they can ruin lives
IDK. After that fight he did go down. It’s not like he could overcome that loss and kept being competitive. Y’all can say whatever you want, but that’s not a resumee from a true champion. I mean, look the Charles Phoenix DuBronx, dude reinvented himself after a shitty record. Reyes wasn’t built for it, just like Gustafson
This was a very perfect example of 'styles make fights'. Reyes matched up very well with Jon. As good as Jon is he was never much of a KO threat and Reyes also stuffed seven of Jon's takedowns, minimizing Jon's biggest weapon. But look what happened in Reyes' last 3 fights. All losses by KO/TKO, something that Jon couldn't do.
You are exactly right. Styles do make fights.
Another explanation is that Jones is past his prime and stopped using PEDs, explaining his lack-luster performance not just against Reyes, but Santos as well who blew out his knees in their fight.
If youre looking at a technical scorecard this fight shouldve been either 3-2 reyes, but i had the 5th round 10-8 jones which would make it a draw and with the fact that jon was advancing the whole fight and may of reyes’ significant strikes were checked leg kicks and the fact that in a draw the champion wins i think jones won the fight
Gustafsson also had a very close fight with Jon Jones
Toughest fight of Jon Jones's life? Did we watch the same fight? Did Jones v Gustaffason just not happen either?
i believe you can see a noticeable difference in his body language after his fight with Jiri. losing to Jan hurt but it wasnt devastating. his fight with Jiri he took an absolute beating the injury report was unreal. crushed orbital KO'd face first into the canvas -- that kinda beating changes a man.
I believe he should have retire after that fight tbh. He almost died and the way he later explained the impact of those bombs was quite disturbing. Jiri seriously hurt him.
Reyes chin got completely destroyed after that fight. It explains why Ryan Spann was able to KO him with a jab.
Sadly, I don't think Reyes ever wins a fight again. Doesn't help that his management is awful and keeps booking him against power punchers that'll keep cracking his already destroyed chin.
@@madgavin7568 exactly. To book him with Jiri of all the ppl after he was koed by Blachowicz..
I mean, regardless of how this all played out. Jan still KO’s Reyes weather he had the belt or not. So he becomes the Holly Holm of LHW, beats the consensus GOAT and then gets starched immediately the next fight
That goes to Tony but I hear ya
Tony fell off after becoming one of the best LW's ever. He became famous and has a dedicated fan base. His downfall is sad but it's not as bad as Dom who was a one hit wonder, got robbed brutally and KO'd 3 times in a row.
Tony has had a tough downfall but it came after years of being one of the best lightweights of his time. He was just unfortunate with injuries and with McGregor's hype fucking up the whole lightweight division for a bit, as well as all the times his fights with Khabib were cancelled. His career is sad, but not at the same level.
@lucastracymma8764 nah its definitely Tony, with all the khabib matches that got canceled and him falling over the cord, 12 fight win streak to never actually touch real ufc gold and now a 7 loss fight streak.. Reyes is a sad story too though
I think coming from football can be terrible for your chin. You can only take so many shots. You come in from the world of football, there's already a lot of holes in your punch card. Brendan Schaub couldn't take a punch either. Marcus Jones was really chinny too.
Bro this is your best video yet bro
"Reyes grew up in a pretty rough area" bro, I'm from his area of the high desert, it wasn't that bad 😂 I grew up in Hesperia, Adelanto and Apple Valley. It wasn't the best, but it's not like we were in Chicago or some shit lol
looking forward to his next fight
in PFL
Watch the fight without commentry. The only reason ppl thought reyes won is cause you got Joe Rogan talking nonsense about reyes finding his range early while he misses every shot or they're blocked by Jon. Reyes through a lot and was real busy but if they're not scoring strikes then all that's happening is "the man's tired" Reyes spent the last 2 rounds running. Fortunately the judges don't hear the commentary and scored the fight correctly.
The Legend of the Flying Dutchman documentary FINALLY!!
More of these type of videos please Lucas. Great work
Frick man he should’ve won, and it’s annoying see all these mma fans in the comments giving excuses. Must be the stans 🤣
Current day analysis of the fight shows Jon Jones won this pretty clearly, he had a higher striking percentage among other things.
He wasn’t robbed and quite honestly, I think the big irony in this is that all of you casuals ended up boosting his head and giving him a victim mindset, where he felt like he was stripped of something he was entitled too.
He became a more passive man in general after this, and you can see it in his interviews all the way to the fights themselves
Explain how Jones won R2 or R3? Percentage isn’t important as if you’re throwing more you’re more aggressive which is considered
Dominick Reyes sees this and goes on 8 fight win streak
😂 that would be awesome
Great video Lucas👍Reyes had such promise. This sport can be so brutal and unpredictable. It's amazing how 1 loss, could change a fighter forever. So sad to see
That fight sucked, we all lost as fans and Jon Jones is faker than Floyd Mayweather
Dana has completely changed his tune for Strickland vs Dricus.
“Im one of those guys who believes you have to take it from the champ”
So true 😂 but it’s strange that those controversial decisions were always made in Dana’s favour 😏
He is not a Strickland fan ,who
Is the peoples champ, he prefers the new South African 🇿🇦 market with Dircus.
And yeah, Bones is the same with his huge popularity. Better to have a superstar than an Honest politic not correct Strickland

He won guys, road to title. Lets gooooo
Lucas we need more vids like this!!! i love it
Anthony smith got a good point tbh, jones skill set individually isnt that great, so in other words hes average yet beats everyone, that's what happens when people take peds, the average becomes better.
The fact you're using Anthony's argument let's me know you're a hater
This isn’t just the case with Reyes, every opponent Jones fought, with the exception of DC, their career plummeted after he beat them.
Jones has a curse
IMO the most Tragic Downfall is Renan Barao, Not sure if there's a video on him yet but it def doesn't get talked about enough, 30 fight unbeaten streak, P4P #1 fighter with dominance being compared to the likes of Silva & GSP, Then the TJ fight happened, And dude all of a sudden looks like an amateur the rest of his career, Losing damn near every fight. Has to be one of the hardest fall offs in MMA history of such a high caliber fighter, So hard that most people don't even recognize the name Renan Barao.
That was a hard one.
If he wasn’t robbed, he would have gone down as the LHW goat
??
@@s66s46 what’s the question marks for
The greatest light heavyweight of all time? Lmao, DC would have a much better claim to that title my guy😂
this is the fight that ended jon jones career and his legacy. this is why he's actively dodging young fighters and going after slugs like Ciryl Gane and Stipe.
I honestly think so too. I think this fight definitely got to Jon, making him realize that he wasn’t the same fighter without the PEDs. This will always cloud his legacy.
I think a lot of Reyes' post Bones fight carreer can be attributed to the fact that in the 4th and 5th round he looked GASSED so bad. And he seemed a lot more reserved after that, especially against Jan Blacovich
Edit: a lot of people also don't give Jan much credit for absolutely DESTROYING Reyes because of where both men ended up, but for that short period of time Jan looked unbeatable until Glover came in. Also proved to be a really tough fight for Ankalaev
Again, I saw the fight and thought Reyes won, only because I wanted him to win just like Alexander Gustafsson. Since then I have watched it 3 more times over the years. Now biased removed watching the fight for the last time today, it is clear Jon won.
I remember watching that fight and thought Jones won. It was obviously extremely close.
Guys please understand that our brains are biased towards what we last saw, Jon won 4-5 that's why it seems that way. The rules of UFC MMA state that you only need to win 3 of 5 rounds doesn't matter in what order. Dom did that convincingly
He should have gotten some pointless takedowns in the rounds he lost.
Bro I was waiting for you to do one of these tragic downfall videos again. Awesome!
It was a good fight, similar to when Jones fought Gustafsson, the first time, however Jones legitimately won ON THE JUDGES CARDS!!!!
Showed this fight to my friends all casuals. All said Reyes won the first three except for one. His only argument for Jones winning was the leg kicks. After getting into UFC more he rewatched the fight, texted me and said “49-46 is fucking outrageous.”
Most fans don't understand the Texas State rules in MMA. The same thing happened with Izzy vs Whittaker 2. MMA fans still can't fathom effective aggressiveness and fight are control are weighed the same as effective grappling and effective striking. But casuals keep casualin'
@@GoodStuff1992 to be fair though most MMA fans casual or not hate “ring generalship” in boxing yet it’s a criteria for scoring. Just goes to show how stupid it all is.
And now he's back! 🎉
I remember my first time betting on mma was 281 and I picked Ryan Spann by KO and another for a 1st round finish. It's one of those things that happens to someone where you just know they are finished and not the same. From the heartbreak of the Jones fight, and the way his last 2 fights ended, especially the Jiri one, it just felt like he would never recover from that streak. If he was to fight Ulberg he'd get hurt bad. Just like Tony. After Gaethje he was never recovering.
UFC 281 hurt to watch seeing Frankie and him get knocked out bad
Thank you sir....!!! I was pissed about that fight !! And i was loving how he was piecing jones up. And lets keep a buck. Gustafson put them paws on him too and got ROBBED !!! STRAIGHT EXPOSED JON. ITS FUNNY HOW THEY ACT THIS STUFF DIDNT REALLY HAPPEN.
