UFC light heavyweights are gearing up for an epic showdown in April. Exciting times ahead!
Sources have revealed that Dominick Reyes is set to face Johnny Walker at UFC 327 on April 11. The event is likely to be held at the Kaseya Center in Miami, though the UFC hasn’t officially confirmed the venue yet. Stay tuned for updates!
Reyes, after a rough patch with four straight losses, turned his career around spectacularly. He knocked out Dustin Jacoby, Anthony Smith, and Nikita Krylov, earning a main event spot against Carlos Ulberg at UFC Perth in September. Unfortunately, Ulberg secured a first-round knockout that night. Interestingly, Reyes is famous for giving Jon Jones a run for his money, losing a controversial decision at UFC 247 in February 2020.
On the flip side, Johnny Walker ended his own rough streak with a knockout victory over Mingyang Zhang at UFC Shanghai in August. At 33, he’s gearing up for his 16th octagon appearance, aiming to climb back up the 205-pound rankings. Exciting times for MMA fans!
