Thiago Santos Calls For Title Bout With Dominick Reyes After Jon Jones Arrest

UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones was arrested early Thursday morning, having been charged with aggravated DWI, negligent use of a firearm, possession of an open container, and driving with no proof of insurance.

In light of Jones most recent arrest, light heavyweight contender Thiago Santos has called for the UFC to book a title bout between himself and Dominick Reyes.
