UFC flyweight contender Louis Smolka explains why he wanted to fight Wilson Reis for the interim championship at UFC 201 later this month.
After defeating Ben Nguyen in very impressive fashion at UFC Fight Night 91 last week, Louis Smolka asked to fight Wilson Reis for the interim flyweight championship in his post-fight interview. Reis was supposed to fight Demetrious Johnson for the title at UFC 201, but the champ pulled out with an injury.
The second-round stoppage over Nguyen extended Smolka’s winning streak to four in a row and earned him a spot in the top 10.
