JON JONES and Dominick Reyes top the bill on a packed night at UFC 247.
Houston’s Toyota Center is set to hosts a terrific evening of MMA action, which also includes a women’s flyweight championship bout between Valentina Shevchenko and Katlyn Chookagian.
Two-time UFC champ Jones – widely regarded as the best of all time – is the current holder of the light heavyweight belt and the American has not lost in the Octagon since 2009.
Californian slugger Reyes has the unenviable task of trying to dethrone Bones, but does boast an unbeaten MMA record with 12 wins from 12 fights.
