UFC 247 is right around the corner, and as a result, the promotion’s marketing machine is revving up. Part of that is the recent release of the “Hold me Back” promo, which features Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes punishing the opposition.
Reyes (12-0) has been booked for the biggest fight of his life, following his first round, KO of former middleweight champ Chris Weidman. That fight went down in October and was Reyes’ sixth win in the Octagon.
Jones (25-1), meanwhile, will be fighting for the first time since last July, when he got by Thiago Santos with a split decision win. That victory marked the second time the renowned fighter has defended the 205 title, in his latest reign as champ.
You can check out the new promo below, which also features co-headliners Valentina Shevchenko and Katlyn Chookagian.
Here is the official line-up for UFC 247 will be hosted by the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on February 8th (line-up via MMA Mania).
