UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones is all set to defend his title against Dominick Reyes at UFC 247, which is scheduled to take place at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The pair have been talking trash to each other ever since their fight was announced.
Last week, Jon Jones even took a dig at Dominick Reyes’s attempted to make it in the National Football League, which is one of the most popular sports league in the US.

Now Dominick Reyes took to twitter to address Jones’ comments regarding his attempted NFL career.
