Dominick Reyes has been through a lot of career ups and downs. The former light heavyweight title challenger once came closer than anyone to beating Jon Jones during his legendary reign, losing a controversial decision that many fans still argue he should have won. That heartbreaking loss in 2020 sent Reyes into a tailspin that included four straight defeats and serious health problems that threatened to end his fighting career completely.<\/p>
But Reyes has clawed his way back from rock bottom with three straight victories. This included a spectacular first round knockout of Nikita Kryvlov in April. His comeback story shows the kind of adversity that either breaks fighters or makes them stronger. Reyes clearly chose the latter path, and now he’s ready to prove that his resurgence is the real deal. Now he is ready to face another high level opponent!<\/p>
