A win over Wilson Reis on Saturday will get Ben Nguyen back on the path to a flyweight title shot.
The question is whether there will even be a flyweight title to fight for next year.
When Nguyen meets Reis on the preliminary portion of UFC Adelaide, it will be a meeting between one of the division’s proven fight finishers and a one-time title challenger. It could also be one of the last 125-pound bouts that the UFC schedules if rumors of the promotion closing down the weight class are true.
