I might pick Reyes for the **** of it because Jones look like **** since Fighting DC and now we seeing the real Jon Jones. The old Jon  would of killed the  Smith, Santos and the Gus who fought him that night. But Jones is still so good tho to beat Reyes probley before u call me ******

Reyes is absolutely legit, I keep getting memories of Silva vs Weidman with this match up. Seemingly unbeatable champion vs undefeated contender.

there is no way Juan Adams or Tafa should be allowed to be anywhere near TV or PPV, bury them on the prelims, also has anyone heard of any other fights that might be coming up for this card or will they just carry on with 10 bouts as of this time

Man, I would’ve taken Jones by decision when this fight was initially announced, but after seeing that press conference I’m gonna say it’ll be Jones via ground and pound KO/TKO in the 3rd Round.
Smith and Santos didn’t really talk mega trash to Jones(in comparison to Reyes at least) so I don’t think Jones went into those fights trying to legitimately hurt either of those guys.
Reyes however, seems to have already gotten under Jones’ skin with the trash talk. That being said, I think Jones will be on a real mission to prove a point with this one. I could be wrong, but I’ve just got that vibe.
I can’t stand Jones and I’m really pulling for Reyes, but I really don’t think we’ll be seeing a new champ in February.

Vera vs Riviera should take adams vs tafas spot on the main card

Vera vs Riviera is way more profitable than adams vs tafa

I think Dom is a little too inexperienced compared to Jones. I believe Jon reads him, times him early and catches him with something.

Jones vs. Reyes
Jon Jones, DEC
I don't understand all the comments about Jones being on the decline. He's indeniably more conservative and less spectacular than before... But he easily ran through every elite fighter he faced recently, (Cormier, Gustafsson, and Smith are absolute killers), with the only exception being a close fight against Thiago Santos (a very dangerous KO artist with 15 wins by KO), who came with a perfect strategy, his scary power and an improved cardio, and Jones still won this fight. Don't even mention the fight against STPreux. It was boring but absolutely dominant. Jones is human, so of course he can have an injury, or a bad night, but if Reyes couldn't beat Volkan Oezdemir, I can't see him winning here.

Lewis vs. Latifi
Derrick Lewis, DEC
I just don't understand this fight. I know Latifi is a good wrestler and Lewis sucks at it, but he was absolutely small for Light Heavyweight, and Lewis is insanely strong for a Heavyweight. Let's hope the ring doesn't crumble under this crazyness.

@JohnVolcan

Casual fans think that Jon Jones is in decline because he doesn't win every fight quickly and spectacularly.

I'll be rooting for Jones. I get people hate the dude. I dislike his weird "Jesus is love" talk, even when he sandblasts prostitutes  on the weekend (imo, only Wonderboy can pull that **** off considering their chosen profession of smashing people). But, we could witness something truly great if he dominates another decade. I wana see that ****.

@chatri Jon is a decline tho  and im on record saying the Jon that fought DC the secound time is the best fighter of all time and since then he perfamance are getting worse, an i don't know if it because he off the juice, not motivated or just getting older and the reason he still winning is  because he still Jon Jones
