Reyes is not only thinking about beating Jones in their first encounter, but is already looking towards the rematch as well.
?Absolutely. I look forward to the rematch,? Reyes told MMA Fighting. ?I?m already planning the rematch in Cowboy Stadium. That?s already in the works. I already know what?s going to happen. I?m going to beat him, it?s not going to be enough. Perfect, let?s do it in Cowboy Stadium except this time it?s my pay-per-view.?
Jones has had two rematches throughout his UFC run, defeating Alexander Gustafsson in two meetings, while beating Daniel Cormier once and fighting the former two division champion to a no contest in their second encounter.
Reyes has planned for moments like the title shot against Jones and now Reyes knows he needs to get the job done.
?It?s almost like I designed this. Everything I said was going to happen, happened,? Reyes said. ?Everything I planned has happened. I know exactly what I need to be successful and now I?m doing it.?
