According to Jones, it is the final rounds that determine the mindset of a fighter and Dominick Reyes failed to do so as the fight approached its end. Judge’s scorecard lined up the fight too closely but UFC veterans and fans billed the bout as an ‘unfair’ one.
Dominic out struck me by literally 12 shots. I scored the take downs, was the aggressor, control the octagon every round, had more significant strikes landed.. Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges. 😩🤷🏾♂️
