Reyes is undefeated as a professional and has just finished in less than two minutes with former Middleweight champion Chris Weidman on the star of the UFC Fight Night Boston. Reyes has won the six fights he has played over the octagon and holds victories over fighters such as Volkan Oezdemir, Jared Cannonier and Ovince Saint Preux.
The event, it should be noted, will have two title fights. In what will surely be the co-star of the evening, the champion of the Flies, Valentina Shevchenko, will expose her belt to Katlyn Chookagian.
