Dominick Reyes

Dominic Reyes is one of the legends of modern Mixed Martial Arts (MMA, from English "mixed martial arts"). Ovins Saint-Preux, Volkan Ozdemir, Chris Weidman and other titans succumbed to his power and pressure. Only John Jones has so far turned out to be stronger: it was at his hands in February 2020 that the previously indestructible Dominic Reyes suffered his first defeat in his career.

Dominic Reyes was born on December 26, 1989 in Hesperia, California, to a poor family of Mexican immigrants. The true nationality was reflected only in the appearance of the fighter, his citizenship is American.

Dominic Reyes showed interest in sports in early childhood. He started, however, not with mixed martial arts, but with football: his dream was to get into the US National Football League (NFL). Parents encouraged these aspirations, seeing sports as a way to prevent homelessness.

The fact is that the financial situation in the family did not allow to bring up Dominic Reyes and his older brother Alexander with dignity. And in conditions of poverty, many guys, as you know, begin to engage in robbery and fraud. Dominic Reyes, fortunately for his parents and MMA fans, preferred physical activity to crime.

After graduating from high school, Dominic Reyes moved to New York State and entered Stony Brook University. He specialized in information systems.

From 2009 to 2012, Dominic Reyes played on the student team Stony Brook Seawolves in the safety position, in the last line of defense. During this period, he twice got into the "dream team" of New York.

In 2013, the fate of Dominic Reyes in the NFL was decided. The draft - a time when football teams are recruiting new players from among students - he approached not quite prepared: his speed and accuracy of throws did not impress the agents. Therefore, the athlete was left behind. His dreams instantly collapsed.

Dominic Reyes' main support in his personal life is Laura Margaret Peña, also a native of Hesperia. Her occupation is far from what her lover devotes herself to: a girl lawyer. She graduated from the University of California, Riverside in 2014 with a Bachelor of Laws and is now working in the profession.

On Instagram, Dominic Reyes does not like to publish photos with his beloved, although he uses social networks regularly: his Twitter is updated several times every day.

Dominic Reyes is just at the age when men start their own families. However, Laura Margaret Pena does not yet have a ring, and the couple does not have children.

After the hopes of a bright future in the NFL collapsed, Dominic Reyes took up mixed martial arts at Combat Cage Academy, a gym that belonged to his brother Alexander. Soon he began to enter the octagon in amateur competitions.

Dominic Reyes has taken over the new sport. He said:

Before signing with the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), Dominic Reyes set a personal record of 6 amateur wins without a single loss. Especially spectacular was his fight against Jordan Powell, who was leading in the account, but was knocked out.

On July 25, 2017, Dominic Reyes made his debut fight under the auspices of the UFC. His rival was Joachim Christensen, an athlete from Denmark. Youth overcame experience: despite the fact that the Danish in MMA is 10 years longer than the American, he did not last even half a minute. The beautiful ending won the title "Performance of the Evening".

Americans Jeremy Kimball and Jared Cannonier held out a little longer under the onslaught of Dominic Reyes. But Ovins Saint-Preu and Volkan Ozdemir resisted until the last minute, but both lost by the decision of the judges.

The fight between Dominic Reyes and Chris Weidman became the main event of October 2019. The Americans prepared longer than they really competed: Dominic Reyes sent the opponent to a technical knockout after one and a half minutes of the 1st round and received another title "Performance of the Evening" in the piggy bank.

As of March 2020, Dominic Reyes was at the top of the UFC light heavyweight fighter rankings and 15th among all the promotions. And this despite the defeat at UFC 247 against John Jones.

Dominic Reyes and Jon Jones met at the Octagon in Houston, Texas on February 8, 2020. At stake was the light heavyweight title. The fighters fought like tigers and lasted all 5 rounds for 5 minutes. The jury, comparing the strength of the opponents, unanimously awarded the victory to John Jones.

The public field was instantly filled with gossip, allegedly Dominic Reyes was sued. Indeed, judging by the rounds, the American was leading 3: 2. John Jones has included reserves in the last two "five minutes", which is why he probably won.

Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes

Dominic Reyes' fee for this fight amounted to $ 380 thousand. While this is the largest earnings in the biography of an athlete.

On the eve of the battle, Dominic Reyes had no doubt that he would be the first fighter in UFC history to defeat the undefeated John Jones:

And although hopes were not justified, the fighters left the Octagon without drama. John Jones remarked that "after this fight, Dominic forced himself to respect." He, in turn, did not believe in the first defeat in his career, but from the bottom of his heart he congratulated the opponent on the title.

Sports columnist John Rilejo, citing UFC director Dana White's post on Instagram, predicted a rematch between Dominic Reyes and John Jones in the summer of 2020. And the fighters themselves at the press conference after UFC 247 did not exclude the possibility of revenge.
