Such medical suspensions are common for combat athletes who've recently fought, regardless of whether they won or lost. They're designed to allow sufficient recovery time from competition.The Nevada State Athletic Commission, which regulated the UFC's event, told MMA that Reyes would be sidelined for a six-month period."Reyes must have bilateral nasal-bone fractures, right displaced orbital medial wall fracture, and left displaced orbital zygomatic arch fracture cleared by ENT [Ear, Nose, Throat] or OMF [Oral and maxillofacial] doctor, or no contest until 29 October 2021," the MMA notes said.That means Reyes is not permitted to compete in combat <keyword id="6356028" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports">sports</keyword> until the end of the year unless he gets clearance from a medical professional. His minimum suspension will last until July 1, and he must not spar until June 16, the record keeper added.Reyes posted <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/COb2G3MpTxN" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a message on Instagram</a> about his healing. The Saturday loss to Prochazka was his third in a row, since he was also beaten by Jan Blachowicz and Jon Jones."Finally home and surrounded by those I love, I'd like to say, I went out there and fought with all my heart," Reyes wrote."I love this game and at times it does not love me back," he added.To Prochazka, Reyes offered a congratulations: "Hell of a fight and what an elbow! It's the ones you don't see coming that get you."Prochazka, a power-punching Czech fighter, has only fought twice in the UFC so far but already looks extraordinary. The former Rizin star is on the cusp of a title shot at 205 pounds. He will likely await the result of the UFC 266 battle between Blachowicz and Glover Teixeira before formally challenging the winner.

After Reyes fired a kick at Blachowicz's head, the Polish puncher retaliated with a flurry of shots — a three punch combo followed by another two, with the final blow during a stand-up back-and-forth being a leg-buckling left hook.From there, it was only a matter of time. Blachowicz floored Reyes and wailed shots down onto his opponent's cowering body until the referee had seen enough.Reyes was in no fit state to continue. Blachowicz had won.Watch the finish here:"I still don't believe, but it's here. It's not a dream, right? It happened," Blachowicz said after finishing Reyes in the second round. "I have the legendary Polish power. I proved it one more time, amazing."It's been a long journey for me, sometimes I was on the top, then I lose a couple fights, but I never stop believing in my skills, in my power."Here I am, the champion," Blachowicz said. "Like I said before, even a pandemic can't stop me right now.Blachowicz said he sensed the ending as soon as he felt he had broken Reyes' nose. "I saw that my left kick to his body, that he slowed down a little bit. I saw almost everything he did. In the second round, when I broke his nose, I knew that the finish will be soon."This is something that we prepared in our gym with coaches. On paper, we knew everything, and now in real life also. We do a great job in the gym. I am the champion."<h2>Blachowicz challenged the former champion Jon Jones to a title fight</h2><div type="image" title="Jan Blachowicz wins UFC championship belt" height="833" width="1250" msid="78346731" hostid="261"></div>Blachowicz gave his post-match interview in the Octagon, the Polish flag draped over his shoulders, and the UFC belt wrapped around his waist. He immediately called-out Jon Jones.The American former champion had reigned supreme, on-and-off for the entire decade prior to vacating the title earlier in the summer.But Blachowicz challenged him to return to the division."I'm back to roots," he told reporters after leaving the arena. "When I'm back to roots with my old coach, I only lost one fight."This is what made me the best again, back to roots and believe in myself, that's it."This is something that I prepared if I won, so I had a few words for Jon Jones, so I just say it. I hope that he watched the fight and that he cuts his weight again and that we meet at 205."Apparently interested in the bout, Jones responded on Twitter by saying: "Would you guys be annoyed if I went back and grabbed my belt real quick?"Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/video-israel-adesanya-humped-paulo-costa-after-dominant-win-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel Adesanya cut Paulo Costa, ground-and-pound him on the floor, then pretended to hump him after his knockout win</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/photo-jan-blachowicz-bruises-dominick-reyes-torso-with-horrible-kick-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A photo from Fight Island shows the horrible, lasting effects a brutal, well-timed, body kick can have on a championship fighter</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/when-will-manny-pacquiao-fight-conor-mcgregor-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manny Pacquiao's representative said Conor McGregor might have been hitting the whiskey when he tweeted that they'd fight soon</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/cameron-else-makes-ufc-kyler-phillips-on-fight-island-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British fighter Cameron Else has signed with the UFC and will make his debut on Fight Island</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/dana-white-signed-mma-novice-he-was-like-mike-tyson-2020-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana White signed a raw MMA novice because he reminded him of a young Mike Tyson and 'scared the s---' out of the UFC boss</a>

"For anyone to think that was 4-1 Jon Jones, that person's insane," <a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2020/02/ufc-247-joe-rogan-blasts-judge-jon-jones-score-dominick-reyes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he said, according to MMA Junkie</a>.White said he scored the fight for Reyes and that even his children were telling him Jones should have lost. "Going into the last round, I had Dominic Reyes three rounds to one," <a href="https://twitter.com/MMAjunkie/status/1226408870433755144" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White said at the post-event press conference</a>."My kids are terrorizing [me saying] that the fix is in, and, 'How could this happen, dad?

That's that."<h2>Statistics say Reyes won</h2><a href="https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/jon-jones-celebrates-his-victory-over-dominick-reyes-in-news-photo/1204970743?adppopup=true">Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC via Getty Images</a>Jon Jones had his arm held up as the winner, after a close back-and-forth with Dominick Reyes.<a href="http://ufcstats.com/fight-details/fae99a4089f8abb0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fight Metric statistics</a> indicate that Reyes landed more punches in rounds one, two, and three, as well as landing more significant strikes through the five-round fight as a whole.Reyes landed 23 of 59 punches (38%) compared to Jones landing 17 of 27 (62%) in round one. In the second, Reyes landed 33 of 68 (48%) against Jones' contribution of 22 from 37 (59%). And, in the third, Reyes again landed more with 26 of 45 (57%) while Jones landed 19 of 34 (55%).It was only in the fourth when Jones snatched the momentum, landing 20 of 34 (58%) compared to Reyes who landed 13 of 41 (31%). In the fifth, Jones landed 26 from 34 strike attempts (76%) compared to Reyes who landed 21 from 46 (45%)."I know I won that fight … I made Jon Jones look like just a man," Reyes said after the fight, <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/mma/story/_/id/28663498/jon-jones-pressured-dominick-reyes-pulls-another-record-setting-win" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to ESPN</a>. "I brought the fight to him."Jones, meanwhile, called the victory "hard-earned" and highlighted the difference in takedowns as a reason for his win. Jones scored two takedowns from nine attempts, while Reyes scored nothing."He landed some hard hits. The fans like it when they see me get hit - it doesn't happen very often," Jones said. "But at the same time, I landed some takedowns. I got his back on more than one occasion."[It was] A hard-earned victory, but a victory."Read more:<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/teofimo-lopez-want-vasyl-lomachenko-fight-2020-1?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Teofimo Lopez, a 22-year-old American, says he's doing all he can to fight one of the world's best boxers because he 'ain't no b----'</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/when-is-ufc-london-leon-edwards-tyron-woodley-fight-2020-1?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One of Britain's top fighters vows to punch Jorge Masvidal next time he sees him - in the streets, or in the UFC</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/balance-of-power-boxing-to-ufc-conor-mcgregor-2020-1?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2 of the world's best boxers are desperate to fight Conor McGregor, proving the balance of power has swung wildly towards UFC and Dana White</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/conor-mcgregor-says-hes-in-talks-to-box-manny-pacquiao-2020-1?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor said he's in talks to box Manny Pacquiao, and a prominent boxing reporter says the Filipino is interested</a><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-crazy-s-people-wish-they-could-do-jorge-masvidal-2020-1?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump is a 'bad mother f-----' because he's 'done crazy s--- a lot of people wish they could do,' UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal says</a> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-meals-are-made-for-super-bowl-54-miami-beach-2020-1">How 215,000 meals are made for Super Bowl LIV</a></h3>

I assume Jon Jones," Ngannou said in a statement sent to Insider.Jones reigned as the light heavyweight champion for much of the 2010s and beat a who's who of big-name fighters like Mauricio Rua, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Alexander Gustafsson, and Dan Cormier.Though he beat Dominick Reyes in a 205-pound match at UFC 247 in February last year, he left the division shortly after and declared an intention to campaign at heavyweight.The mega-fight would pit Ngannou, the UFC's heaviest hitter in history and the newest champion, against Jones, who is the best light heavyweight to ever compete in the Octagon."He's coming up and they just talked about that fight," said Ngannou. "Let's make it happen."<h2>For the right price, Jones wants it too</h2>It is seemingly a super-fight that Jones wants to pursue, too, providing he receives a super-fight payday."Show me the money," he tweeted shortly after Ngannou mauled Miocic.In subsequent tweets, Jones added: "If anyone is wondering if I really want to fight, the answer is yes. I also really want to get paid."It is unclear if Jones will indeed become Ngannou's first defense of his recently-won crown.However, the UFC boss Dana White did say that if such a bout cannot be made, then the promotion could turn to Derrick Lewis, a big-punching Texan with a pro MMA record of 25 wins (20 knockouts, one submission, and four decisions) against seven losses.

"I think it was drugs or weapon."Teixeira declined the offer.<h2>Texieira is now one win from becoming a UFC champion</h2><div type="image" title="Glover Teixeira throws a kick during his pre-fight practise session in Abu Dhabi." height="1000" width="2000" msid="87343800" hostid="261"></div>Once in the States, Teixeira said he fell in love with the country and, before long, started to box.A friend recommended he fight in the UFC - a firm that specializes in contests involving multi-fight disciplines, which was a concept still in its infancy back then."I got my ass kicked," in early fights, Teixeira said, but he eventually started training with Chuck Liddell - one of the first superstar <keyword id="11922276" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="mma" source="Orion">MMA</keyword> fighters - who recommended him to the UFC boss <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/dana-white" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dana White</a>.Many fights later he started <a href="https://www.insider.com/video-anthony-smith-can-be-seen-handing-his-tooth-to-the-referee-2020-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">punching the teeth out of one opponent's mouth</a> - Anthony Smith.He is now on the hunt for the win that would define his career as he looks to dethrone Blachowicz this weekend.<div type="image" title="Jan Blachowicz boxes during a pre-fight practise session in Abu Dhabi." height="1000" width="2000" msid="87343801" hostid="261"></div>It took a while for Blachowicz to get the respect his resume deserved, as the Polish fighter is on a tear of late, defeating Luke Rockhold, Dominick Reyes, and, significantly, Israel Adesanya.Speaking at a media day Insider attended Wednesday, at an ornate five-star hotel on Yas Island - mere minutes from the host venue the Etihad Arena this weekend - Teixeira said he was happy to enter this Octagon as the underdog.Someone who "overcomes the odds" to defeat the champ. "It's a hard thing to do and I'm glad that I'm here," said Teixeira. "And I'm going to get it Saturday night."He continued: "It's going to be a great fight because the style match-up is amazing. Jan, he likes to come in and finish fights. He goes after people. You know me, the record speaks for itself … I have the most submissions in UFC."Somebody's going to get hurt, and it's going to be Jan."Added Teixeira: "I want to be champion, I'm going to be champion. That's the mindset I have right now."Teixeira said he's lived "an amazing life" - one almost befitting of a Hollywood screen.But in this world, it is perhaps only victory Saturday that would provide the ultimate punctuation mark for Teixeira's million dollar script.

He's not. That's why he's an idiot. I'm not going to say I'm perfect. I never have. I'm not going to pretend I'm holier than thou like he does."Jones is a Catholic school girl. Those Catholic school girls were suppressed all of their life and then once they get some freedom and they're away from the church, they become w-----. Jon's a w----."Though Adesanya has trolled Jones on Twitter over the most recent arrest, he told MMA Fighting that the behavior in general saddens him because he can "empathize as a young black man."Regardless, he added: "To be in my position of power as UFC champion, which is where he is but he's been there a lot longer and he's just f------ it up over and over … it's embarrassing really."It's embarrassing but it's fun for me to watch because he's a piece of s---."<h2>Adesanya and Jones may well be on a collision course</h2><div type="image" title="Anthony Smith and Jon Jones" height="1000" width="2000" msid="75494614" hostid="261"></div>Before the coronavirus worsened in multiple countries, creating a pandemic which ground <keyword id="6356028" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="sports">sports</keyword> leagues and organizations to a halt, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-top-20-fights-we-want-to-see-most-in-2020-2?r=US&amp;IR=TIR=T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insider listed 20 boxing and MMA fights we most wanted to see in 2020</a>. One of the most prominent matches on that list was a champion vs. champion bout between Adesanya and Jones.This author wrote at the time:Adesanya has the confidence and comic book striking of a young Conor McGregor when the Irishman was getting a promotional push back in the day, and a bout between the charismatic Nigerian king and the infamous American brings together two champions, two dominant fighters, where the winner is unclear.Even UFC president Dana White said he is open to the idea of making that fight, <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2020/2/3/21118428/dana-white-open-to-booking-israel-adesanya-vs-jon-jones-under-the-right-circumstances" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to MMA Fighting</a>. And when White wants a fight, it more often than not ends up happening.Adesanya envisages a fight to one day materialize between them, but appears to think it would be a straight-forward challenge as Jones, he said, is far removed from his prime years as a combatant.Jones went through a gauntlet run of some of the toughest opponents in the 2010s, brutally beating Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans, Chael Sonnen, Alexander Gustafsson, and Dan Cormier. However, he hasn't finished anybody since 2018 and labored to victory in his three most recent bouts, including a March struggle against Dominick Reyes."I think Dominick really showed what I've been saying about Jones," Adesanya said. "He's washed … I've been saying he's washed but no one was listening."I hope he stays champion, "he added. "That way I'd be the guy to take out the "GOAT" [greatest of all time]."I've been chopping goat meat for a long time. This will be nothing different."Read more:<a href="https://www.insider.com/ufc-middleweight-luke-rockhold-said-he-kicked-a-sketchy-woman-2020-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A former UFC champion said he front-kicked a 'sketchy' woman in LA because she tried to spit on him after running 'like a zombie'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/devin-haney-says-hes-not-racist-regrets-white-boy-remark-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">21-year-old American boxer Devin Haney says he's not racist, has 'learned a lot,' and regrets saying he'd never lose to a 'white boy'</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/mike-tyson-punched-garbage-man-for-throwing-away-his-pigeon-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Tyson said he once knocked out a garbage man for throwing away one of his pet pigeons that had died</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/paulie-malignaggi-warns-conor-mcgregor-he-will-knock-him-out-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor's old sparring partner says he'll 'beat the s---' out of him if the Irishman really wants to compete in boxing again</a><a href="https://www.insider.com/khabib-nurmagomedov-challenged-to-a-fight-vs-christian-lee-2020-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">A 21-year-old champion is already good enough to dethrone UFC king Khabib Nurmagomedov, MMA promoter says</a>Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/jon-jones-getting-arrested-is-fun-according-to-israel-adesanya-2020-5">Insider</a>
