The Read
Style, strengths, and defining traits.
Reyes is a long southpaw counter striker whose best work comes when opponents step onto his left hand and let him open his kicking game behind it. When he is dictating range he can win clean minutes, but the same willingness to trade in open space is why his fights can swing suddenly either way.
The résumé still turns on the 2020 title push, yet the recent rebound matters more for his current value. After four straight losses he rebuilt his position with finishes over Dustin Jacoby, Anthony Smith and Nikita Krylov, then edged Johnny Walker at UFC 327 to steady himself back in the light-heavyweight mix.
