"I win this fight, I would have won four of my last five, so it's pretty damn good. The cool thing about fighting on the title fight card is a relevancy thing. We live in a world of, 'What have you done for me lately?' And everything's kind of short-term memory."
"So I go out there and put on a hell of show against Johnny and the main event is a couple of fights later. I'll be in the conversation. Whether I have to fight one more time or whatever, I'm relevant."
Dominick Reyes is set to fight Johnny Walker at UFC 327, coinciding with a title fight between Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg. Reyes believes that winning against Walker will boost his relevance in the title conversation due to recency bias in the sport. He emphasizes the importance of performing well on a card with a title fight, as it can lead to increased visibility and opportunities. Reyes has faced challenges in his career but aims to capitalize on this opportunity to re-establish himself in the light heavyweight division.
