As for who Jones will fight, Dominick Reyes is the heavy favorite to challenge the undefeated champion next. Reyes comes off of a first-round knockout win over former middleweight kingpin Chris Weidman. Jones has already noted on social media that he has chosen to fight Reyes next, while also having the choice of Corey Anderson available to him. The UFC has yet to officially announce Jones’ next fight.
