How to watch Jones vs. Reyes in UFC 247 online from anywhere

Share

The first first UFC title fight of 2020 takes place at the Toyota Center, Houston, Texas on Saturday, February 8 with the unbeaten Dominick Reyes out to dethrone controversial defending champ Jon Jones.

Despite continued criticism that he is past his best, Jones has continued to take out each contender thrown at him by the UFC. Never stopped nor outscored, the only blemish on his 26-fight career stands as a controversial disqualification for landing illegal downward elbows against Matt Hamill in 2009.

While his recent visits to the octogon may not have seen him at his dominant best (his last defence of his crown came in July with a narrow split-decision victory over Thiago Santos), it still remains the case that the most likely person capable of displacing Jones as champ is Jones himself thanks to his numerous run-ins with the law.

Nevertheless, Jones’ opponent on Saturday seems more than capable of ending his record-breaking run. Reyes is arguably the best natural athlete in the division and has enjoyed a rapid rise to the top of the division in just six UFC fights. Impressive recent wins over Volkan Oezdemir and former middleweight champion Chris Weidman showcased a confident fighter on the ascendancy who more than deserves his shot at the title.

UFC 247 also includes a strong supporting bill to the Jones vs. Reyes showdown. The highlight of it is likely to be the co-main event which sees women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defending her crown against Katlyn Chookagian. You can check out the full main card below.
