Pros react to Jon Jones vs. Dominick Reyes scoring

Well, Jon Jones remains the world champion but he doesn’t so without controversy.

Jones defeated Dominick Reyes in Houston tonight via a judges decision. One judge even gave the contest to Jones 4 rounds to one, but as usual, plenty of people had things to say, including other UFC fighters.

Check it out.

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.

Close fight. I see it 3-2 but wouldn’t be surprised if it went the other way!

This gonna be a tight 1. I have it 3-2 Jones 2 (jones pressured the whole Round even though Reyes landed a few more strikes),4,5, the title could switch hands here also 🤷🏾‍♂️ #UFC247

Humble so each by Jones. Fair play.

Is our sport the only major sport where you don't see score until game is over? What would harm be in judges showing their scores after each round? Honest question not a diss
