“I'm already thinking about the rematch. I'm already planning the new fight at 'Cowboy Stadium' (the stadium of the American football team, Dallas Cowboys, with a capacity for 100 thousand people, located in the United States). This is already being worked on. I already know what will happen. I will beat him, but it won't be enough. We’re going to do it at the stadium, but this time, I’ll be the protagonist”, said Dominick.

According to the American, the confidence in victory over 'Bones' is a consequence of a script drawn up in his career in MMA that has been confirmed with each performance by Reyes. Undefeated in his career, the fighter needed six fights for the UFC to reach the position of facing one of the best fighters of all time.

“It's as if I drew all of this. Everything I said would happen, happened. Everything I planned happened. I know exactly what I need to do to be successful and now I’m going to do it”, he confirmed.

Even though Dominick is certain of his talent, he tries not to belittle Jones. In addition to having the biggest fight of his life, the athlete will have to overcome the fact that the current champion has remained dominant in the sport for more than 10 years. With unquestionable efficiency, Jon ended up creating an enigma that afflicts many opponents who try to discover the secret to beating him, but end up running into the legend's talent.

"IT IS Jon Jones. It's bigger than the title. You won't just be winning the belt, but defeating the guy who defended the title better than anyone else. It’s huge”, concluded Dominick.

With just five years of professional MMA career, Reyes, 29, currently has 12 fights without defeat.
