Nine men have tried, and every single one has failed. Wilson Reis now has the chance to end UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson's attempt to tie Anderson Silva’s all-time record in the Octagon, and he explains why he’s the right man for the job.
Winner of five of his six fights since cutting down to 125 pounds, Reis earned a shot at the UFC gold after a win over Dustin Ortiz in 2016, but an injury forced Johnson out of UFC 201. Reis added a couple more victories to his record after that, and feels in the end, the delay was positive for his career.
