2. Dominick Reyes proves many people wrong
On paper, it certainly seemed like Reyes had some attributes that could pose problems for Jones. I had strong doubts he would be able to put it all together on fight night, but he managed to rise to the occasion better than expected and arguably do enough to get the win.
Although his dreams were somewhat crushed in that he wasn’t able to get the belt, Reyes’ stock skyrocketed with the performance against Jones and he showed his true capabilities. And there’s a good chance this isn’t even the best he has to offer.
Reyes earned a great deal of new experience, from the leadup to the fallout of the fight with Jones, and everything in between. From all appearances, he’s got a good head on his shoulders, and if he channels the disappointment and frustration of the situation in a position way, the future remains bright and there’s a chance he has that UFC title wrapped around his waist for real one day.
