Dominick Reyes vs. Dustin Jacoby

Dominick hasn't won a fight in 5 years, hasn't actually fought in a year and a half and dodged a bullet when he pulled out of his previously scheduled matchup with Carlos Ulberg. Dustin has had a few stumbles the last 2 years, but he still wins this fight. Dustin is the better striker even if they fought before Reyes' skid and thats the only thing that matters here. Dominick is very long here and could potentially play the range game, but I think Dustin cuts through it, stays safe and retires Dominick Reyes.

Dominick Reyes

Dominick Reyes is a former title challenger who many argue beat Jon Jones. But since that title loss he has been knocked out in back to back to back fights. Style wise he's primarily a striker who has ok power but clean technique and timing. He has 2 takedowns in the UFC with a low 28% accuracy but a very solid 80% takedown defense. It's easy to say he is on a 4 fight skid and count him out, but those 4 losses are to the last 3 LHW champions and Ryan Spann. Ultimately Dominic is a very talented guy who no longer has a chin.

Dustin Jacoby

Dustin Jacoby is a high level kickboxer who during his kickboxing stint was ranked 2nd in the world. He does a great job keeping things technical and working your legs. He is very technically sound with good power and volume. He has 60% takedown defense but that number is understated. He has solid takedown defense and does a great job making you pay on the way in. He is coming off the close loss to Alonzo Menifield where outside of getting dropped, he was winning the striking exchanges.
