Steamrolls way to contract
Reyes defeated Justice Torres via TKO (knees and punches) at 2:32 of Round 1 of Dana White's Contender Series on Tuesday. After the show, he was one of five fighters to be officially awarded a UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
Reyes refused to be denied, stalking his opponent and throwing big shots until a punch to the body signaled the beginning of the end. The Colombian fighter has put in work to get to the UFC, amassing 27 fights in a career that began in 2014. This experience, along with his power and pressuring style, should serve him well in the featherweight division. Reyes improved to 22-5-0 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
