A superb athlete with a beautifully vicious skill set, unbeaten light heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes might be the UFC’s next big thing. But If the 29-year-old American is to continue his meteoric rise through the UFC’s 205-pound rankings, he absolutely needs to be able to handle himself against the likes of former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman. While always a dangerous competitor, the 35-years-old Weidman has lost four of his last five fights and is moving up to the light heavyweight division for the first time in his career.
In the co-main event, featherweight contenders Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens will settle the score just one month after an unintentional eye-poke halted the action in their first bout just 15 seconds into the contest.
