Both Thiago Santos and Dominick Reyes thought they were robbed when they fought Jon Jones . After moving up to light heavyweight, Santos (21-7 MMA, 13-6 UFC)  scored three-straight stoppages to earn a shot at UFC light heavyweight champion Jones (26-1 MMA, 20-1 UFC) at UFC 239. Not only did Santos go the distance with him, he did it with injuries to both knees, which were damaged while throwing an array of leg kicks to Jones that wobbled the champion on numerous occasions. Santos suffered a split decision loss at UFC 239 in July 2019. Santos, who recently underwent surgery on both knees, has wanted a rematch ever since. With Jones’ Thursday arrest , he’s suggesting a title fight against Reyes – implying Jones should be stripped of the title and he should get a chance to win the vacated belt .
