When the UFC called Wilson Reis with an offer to face Henry Cejudo at UFC 215, there’s no way he would refuse it.
Cejudo signed with the UFC in 2014 and needed four wins to earn a shot at flyweight kingpin Demetrious Johnson, and almost fought Reis in his run to the top. Cejudo’s last UFC win was against Jussier Formiga, who had just defeated Reis via unanimous decision in Brazil.
"I was really happy when they offered me this fight,” Reis told MMA Fighting of Saturday night’s bout with Cejudo in Edmonton, Canada.
