"Reyes entered the UFC in 2017 and quickly put together an impressive six-fight win streak, including four finishes and a TKO victory over former champion Chris Weidman. That run earned him a title shot against former light heavyweight champion, which he lost by decision."
"Walker opened the fight targeting the lead leg with kicks, while Reyes fired an early head kick that was blocked. Fighting out of the southpaw stance, Reyes allowed Walker to continue working the inside leg kicks with consistency."
"For much of the second round, the fight had the feel of a sparring session, with both men taking turns initiating offense without fully committing. Walker mixed in a body kick, slipped a left hand, and shot for a takedown, but Reyes defended it well."
