Following light heavyweight champion Jon Jones’s unanimous decision win over Dominick Reyes in the UFC 247 main event on Saturday, fighters reacted to the scorecards. Some fighters believed the fight could have gone either way, but others felt like Reyes clearly won.
Not robbery. Close fight, could have gone either way. 3-1 or 2-2 going into 5th. I thought 3-2 Reyes but the fight was so close it could have gone either way.

I had Reyes in the first three rounds. Credit to Jones on coming on strong 4th and 5th but I would of guessed Reyes won that fight on scorecards.

Not sure about the score cards . They awarded pressure tonight . What scores more PRESSURE or point strikes ? There’s is no concrete answer . We need a standard judging system! #UFC247
