UFC champ Jon Jones appears to welcome a fight with Dominick Reyes, but he doesn’t seem overly enthusiastic about it.
Reyes (12-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) strengthened his case to challenge Jones (25-1 MMA, 19-1 UFC) for the light heavyweight title when he earned a first-round TKO of Chris Weidman in Friday’s UFC on ESPN 6 headliner.

I should just wait for the winner of DC and Stipe? Let these light heavies figure out who’s going to present the best challenge https://t.co/PfTK5LxrJN

Igor Severino’s life isn’t the same as it was one week ago. As of now, the 20-year-old ex-UFC fighter doesn’t know if it’ll ever be even similar after he bit opponent Andre Lima during their March 23 fight at UFC on ESPN 53 in Las Vegas. The highly unusual...
