Dominick Reyes sends Joachim Christensen airborne with nasty knockout in UFC debut

A month ago, Dominick Reyes was on the outside looking in as a young prospect in the light heavyweight division fighting on the regional mixed martial arts scene.

Reyes burst onto the UFC’s radar after his last opponent taunted him in the early going of their fight before he landed a vicious head kick knockout just seconds later.

Now Reyes has his first win in the Octagon after a stunning 29-second knockout over Joachim Christensen at UFC Fight Night in Oklahoma City.

Reyes actually accepted the fight on short notice after last competing a few weeks ago but he certainly looked ready to go as soon as the referee started the bout.
