With an undefeated record of 11-0 as a professional, Dominick Reyes has quickly risen in the UFC light heavyweight division. And after two years in the company, he is already ranked fourth.
With those numbers, everything indicates that he is close to becoming a challenger for Jon Jones' title. However, before that, he will have to defeat Chris Weidman, former middleweight champion who will make his debut in the division, at UFC Boston.

After a whole career in middleweight, Weidman made the decision to move up in weight class after a slump in his career. At 35 years old, he has only won one of his last five fights, against Kelvin Gastelum in 2017.
And despite not being the favorite, the 'All American' will look to surprise. He made that clear in the official face-off and weigh-in for UFC Boston. "I feel better than ever, I will make a statement in the fight," he said.
