While Dominick Reyes condoled with Anthony Smith over his recent loss, “The Devastator” is keen to keep his momentum going after finally ending a four-fight skid with a first-round KO of Jacoby earlier this year. In four consecutive losses going back to 2020, Dominick Reyes lost to Jon Jones, Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka, and Ryan Spann. The 34-year-old fought Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title in 2020 and lost by decision. The Southpaw, number 12 in the light heavyweight rankings, is adamant that he gained lessons from the run of defeats.
