UFC 247: Jones vs. Reyes | Full Fight Card, Live Stats, Odds, Time, Venue, Main Card, Predictions.

Ultimate Fighting Championship is heading back to the Lone Star State on Saturday night when arguably the greatest mixed martial artist of all time hits the Octagon to defend his title. Light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will put his strap on the line against the next challenger in line, Dominick Reyes, in the main event of UFC 247 from Houston, Texas (10 p.m. ET, ESPN PPV).

Reyes (12-0) will enter Toyota Center in Houston looking to become the man to knock Jones off his throne. Still relatively young in his fighting career, Reyes has the physical and athletic tools to hang with Jones. He’ll look to prove his rapid rise through the UFC ranks which includes four stoppage wins in six UFC victories is no fluke when he takes on arguably the best fighter to ever set foot in the Octagon.

A second title fight kicks off in the co-main event from Houston with women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defending her crown against Katlyn Chookagian. Shevchenko is on an incredible run since dropping down to 125 pounds and looking to add another finish to her resume. Chookagian, meanwhile, has won two in a row to get into this position in a fairly shallow division looking to find its footing.

While the rest of the card may not carry the depth of a high class PPV, there is still some potential for fireworks with a pair of heavyweight bouts set to kick off.
