Dominick Reyes is back to his winning ways after securing a KO victory at UFC Louisville. The former title contender was on a 4-fight losing streak and had not won in almost 5 years.
Dustin Jacoby came out aggressively in the very first round and paid the price for it with a knee that signaled the end for him. Jacoby proved to be his redemption as he showed everyone in the division he still has what it takes to hang in there with the best.
Following his impressive KO victory, fans are beginning to trust Dominick Reyes again and predict that this victory is one of many to come in what is being considered the beginning of a new title run.
“WE’RE SO BACK. TITLE RUN STARTS NOW”

“I’ve dreamed about this moment for so long man….I mean it’s the start of the next title run. That’s the whole goal, I’m here to be a champion.”
