Jon Jones Launches Scathing Attack On Dominick Reyes For Being 'Mad At The Judges'

UFC legend Jon Jones has launched a relentless verbal attack on Dominick Reyes for having the "audacity to be mad at the judges."

The 32-year-old light heavyweight champ secured a unanimous decision victory over his opponent at UFC 247 last weekend.

But the showdown was marred in controversy as many fight fans argued that the decision loss to Reyes was unfair.

Jones has now taken issue with Reyes' anger at the judges and delivered a scathing attack on social media.

"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," 'Bones' said on Twitter.

"Dom completely stopped fighting in the championship rounds and has the audacity to be mad at the judges.

"Don't be mad at the judges, be mad at Dom's conditioning guy. man started to give up when the water got deep and is now going around doing interviews talking about being robbed.

"When will these young boys start taking responsibility that's what's wrong with boys these days.

"At the end of the day, I got to be a part of another classic. I'm over here in ABQ smiling from ear to ear.

"Having fights like that tickles my pickle, it makes me feel so alive. Makes me feel like a man. Especially when you display having balls the way I did, nothing but a win."

Jones, who is widely revered as one of the best MMA fighters of all time, continued his rant by admitting that he was "really happy" knowing that his "haters are p****d."

He continued: "And I know my haters are p****d, which also makes me really happy lol.

"Fights like those are the ones fans never forget. What a way to make history.

"This will probably be one of the only times I defend myself about the fight. just [sic] glad it has everyone talking.

"I don't think people realize how many ways this has been a blessing for me. Humbling, record-breaking, financially, a new rival, got to bring out the dog. #UFC247 is what it's all about."
