Yeah! Asking for a 100 million is not that huge compare to Dana's possible profit in this upcoming rematch if will be granted . And besides, Khabib is the current reigning champ so we can say that he is on the right position of doing so.

The reason is understood why they demanded 100 million as they are not even willing to go through the same shit show and Khabib have already said that he is not interested to fight Conor McGregor again as the amount of negativity that will fill would be huge and Khabib likes the respect game and he clearly defeated Conor McGregor without giving anyone any doubt and still everyone wants to see a rematch and so is the reason they are asking for huge amounts as the tickets will be selling hot as well.

Khabib is also a huge superstar in the Middle East and Russia and it will be the biggest fight in history if they rematched and asking for 100 million is not a big deal.

And besides, Khabib is the current reigning champ so we can say that he is on the right position of doing so. I just hope that he will beat El Cucuy on his upcoming match to retain his pride hahaha because if not then Tony will definitely outshine him and talks about Tony vs McGregor might be included on Dana's plan .

However, Khabib is not a big superstar similar to Conor. I reckon if Khabib's next fight was not versus El Cucuy, it might not be as big as Conor's comeback fight versus Cowboy.

Also $100m only for Khabib? That is too much. He is not a personality like Floyd Money Mayweather hehehe.

My not-so-professional analysis  

For the main event, here's another unbeaten fighter (so far) looking to take the belt from one of the UFC greats Jon "Bones" Jones. Knowing how Jones fights, he likes to beat opponents out of their own game whether its striking, grappling, or wrestling. Dominick "The Devastator" Reyes is well-known as a KO artist so I expect Jones to keep this fight a striking match.

This is a really good review, Jon Jones has faced many fighters who were undefeated in the past and no one was able to defeat Jones as he is a complete fighter who takes the fight on the strength of the opponent but Dominick Reyes is an athlete as he did many sports throughout his college life and he is a good athlete as well and have the knockout power but the team behind Jon Jones will come up with a great game plan and i am expecting Jon Jones to win somehow even if it goes for a decision.

Just more then 1 week away then we see the GOAT JBJ back
He might not lose but DR will give him a good challenge i think

I have a weird feeling that something will happen in this fight against Dominick Reyes, in the Anthony Smith fight he landed an illegal knee because he kneed when he was in the mat and got two point deducted and if Anthony Smith would have said he cannot continue Smith would have been the Champion and against Thiago Santos it was a rare split decision and that too when Thiago Santos was injured really bad and could not even stand straight throughout the fight and considering those two fights i am expecting something in this fight .

Thanks. Jones is really good at using his length in creating distance. Him stretching his arms which sometimes results to eye pokes and his front kicks to the opponent's knee have been a good weapon in his previous fights. When the opponent gets close, he is also strong in the clinch and also has his trademark front/spinning elbows.

Having said all that, I personally wish he would just take Reyes down, then pound or submit him for another victory. Jones could be losing his chin now because he's also getting older. Just one sweet punch from Reyes could end the fight.

Jon Jones VS Dominick Reyes I would say this is really one epic fight that many are waiting for and after Dominick Reyes devastated Chris Weidman he is looking for a fight with Jon Jones next let's just see if he really got the formula in defeating Jones, well let say Reyes had the punching power and can really have the technique in KOing his opponents, Well I think both are Undefeated taking out the possible loss of Jones because of his DQ and overturned record because of the positive test of Turinabol it is surely a great fight to witness,

But I am still fond of Jon Jones fighting style and this is a sure thing why I will take my chances on Jon Jones winning this UFC 247.

Am I the only guy who wants to see Jones get KO'd out of his wits for once?    I mean it would at least make things more interesting..  (Like Jones to HW)

Jon Jones introduced oblique kick to MMA which will hyper extend the opponents knee and hence the opponent will think twice will making an attack, his fight IQ is really high, all the opponents freezes when they enter the cage with him simply because he will not allow the opponent to think, if you look at his past fights you will see when the opponent makes a move forward he will start the attack and that will make the opponent neutralize their attack and that is the brilliance of Jon Jones.

Having said all that, I personally wish he would just take Reyes down, then pound or submit him for another victory. Jones could be losing his chin now because he's also getting older. Just one sweet punch from Reyes could end the fight.

Even in the last fight against Thiago Santos he refused to take the opponent down and finish the fight even when his corner was pleading with him to take him down during the fight, not sure about his mentality on why he wants to beat the opponent on their game and the judges gave him a split decision because of that mentality.

In the Heavyweight division he might face the real challenge against big punchers like Francis Ngannou and that will be a huge fight or even Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier is a huge challenge in the Heavyweight division.

Hahaha, I am fond of how Jon Jones fight and because of his fighting style and surely enough Jones's head is getting bigger now that he is pretty well known in the industry of UFC and that Turinabol issue is pretty sure, not acceptable I don't know but I am seeing him in a state of just beginning his career but a successful one in doing his kicking forte,

Dominick Reyes is a skillful guy that Jon Jones may have a hard time with him indeed he can surely adapt to the opponent fighting style and can bring an outburst of punches and if Reyes would see an opening he will surely take it.

I am giving him the benefit of the doubt as he is a wild party person and he might have consumed anything during those wild parties as the traces found in his system were minute and even the commission said that it will not aide him in any way and hopefully he stopped doing those reckless things but continues to drink alcohol which is not good for an athlete and it might have an affect on him as he ages.

Anyone challenging for the belt had a dream run of tough competition and Dominick Reyes is the most promising fighter and he does have the confidence of an undefeated fighter but still going with Jon Jones because of his skills to out perform his opponent every fight.

Dont forget that he is quite a dirty fighter. He likes to do that “little but close to groin” kicks, back of the head strikes and etc. He does that every time, because he is a true master of balancing between getting yellow warning card and not

No idea why close to groin kick is not warranted, it is a fight and they are fighting to win the fight and the winner will have the best prize money in the competition and if you have your life on the line then you will find every opportunity to perform but i do not consider that as dirty fighting, the general fans just like to see blood shed but for the fighters it is their profession and career and they will try their best to defeat the opponent.

No you are probably in the majority since the man is not the best human being on earth
But he is a elite mixed martial artist who noone can seem to figure him out yet in 27 trys

I'm also one of those who wanted to see Jones losing  . He has the persona of a Floyd Mayweather, people are going to buy tickets to watch him lose. But as you have sadi 27 have tried and 27 have failed.

But it looks like Jones might be slipping away a little, but we will see if he still have that edge.

[NavI_027]

Hmm, I'm also wondering what Bones looks like when he was knocked out on the floor or even just making a tap out Actually, the only fighter that I believed before who can do such thing to him is Gustaffsson. In their first fight, Alexander really bring great damage to him but then suddenly a f*cking spinning elbow change the game. What a near miss ! I thought he can finally defeat Bones on their rematch but it ended worse. Haaayst! I'm also clueless right now on who's gonna beat him really bad, maybe Adesanya if he go to LHW. What do you guys think.

If Jones gets KO'd, I cannot wait to hear what Israel Adesanya has to say since the two guys still has unfinished business lol. Jones immediately moving to the heavyweight division is unlikely though. His ego wouldn't let him do that Besides, a rematch is going to be more lucrative in Dana's eyes and he wouldn't want to miss on that.

[tokeweed]

^  Pretty much think Adesanya will stop dogging Jones without the goat status.  Lol.

I think he could take Miocic, Cormier could be closer and he's def an underdog vs Ngannou.  But dunno...  He's capable to raise the bar up if the challenge presents itself.  At LHW, there are no real challenges.  So it seems like he could gradually be deteriorating as an athlete atm.

He surely needs to stop the intake of alcohol and once he had a match on schedule I think he needs to truly stop drinking for once, that Turbinol might be apart when he is really partying hard, and just as you have said he is an athlete so he should really stop drinking so much it will surely consume his body if not today it will be in the future,

Dominick Reyes really isn't a pushover, in my opinion, that is why Jon Jones needs to take extra precaution in taking him head-on, that undefeated title really gives him the confidence in going on to still retain that unstained moniker.
