UFC light heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes took to Instagram and shared exciting news with the MMA community. ‘The Devastator’ teased fight fans by not revealing who his upcoming opponent would be. However, rampant speculation is already underway.

The general consensus is that Reyes could go toe to toe against Jon Jones, yet again.

The undisputed champion defended his strap against Dominick Reyes back in February 2020 at UFC 247. The bout would be highly contentious, with many fans being split down the middle as fas as the winner was concerned.

Moreover, a large majority of the fan base pegged Reyes to have marginally edged out a decision on the scorecard.

Additionally, Jon Jones has been at odds with the UFC regarding contractual disputes following the fight. In light of this, MMA fans were surprised to hear that UFC President Dana White was in talks to book a fight for Jones.

White spoke to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto ahead of UFC 252 and touched on the fact that Jones was being offered a fight.

“It’s not on hold, we’re making moves on that too. We’re working on it. We are actually waiting to hear back from Jon Jones right now.”
