UFC 247 promises the fans every bit of the nail-biting expectations it is known to give out. With two of the best fighters if the light heavyweight category, both undefeated in the octagon in their careers as yet, the showdown between Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes promises to be a completely fresh, new, and exhilarating experience. While the two-time undisputed champion’s scorecard does show a loss by disqualification and another No Contest, the pound-for-pound king, Jon has to date not been defeated inside the octagon. Similarly, The Devastator, Reyes has not yet been beaten in the octagon. To add to the sheer excitement caused by unpredictability due to similarity, both fighters display familiar results based on the nature of the outcome, i.e., ratios of wins by KOs to submissions to decisions.
