HOUSTON — Jon Jones retained his title at UFC 247, beating Dominick Reyes by unanimous decision. Jones retained his light heavyweight belt Saturday night following a surprisingly strong opening by Reyes. The unanimous decision of 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 was met with scattered applause and loud boos from the crowd, as many felt the challenger had proven enough to take the title. UFC President Dana White addressed what turned out to be a disputed decision. “The scoring was all over the map,” said White, noting that he thought Reyes had a 3-1 edge entering the final round.
