          Once again, Jon Jones came through when the heat was on.

          Jones survived an early onslaught from challenger Dominick Reyes and used his experience and superior conditioning to pull off a unanimous decision victory on Saturday at UFC 247. The light heavyweight champion set the UFC record for most wins in title fights, with 14, earning the nod with his sustained pressure in the later rounds.

          But while one household name in particular -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson -- heaped praise on Jones, several big-name fighters weren't exactly sold on the final outcome. Many took to Twitter to question the judges' scoring, and others were simply impressed by the skill and toughness of Reyes.
