Reyes is riding a nice three fight winning streak. There was some concern for the Light Heavyweight fighter as the 35-year-old was on a massive four fight losing stream after his loss to Jon Jones at UFC 247.
Reyes took a year off to readjust his training and he came back with an impressive win over Dustin Jacoby. Reyes continued to showcase why many saw him as the future of the lightweight division against Anthony Smith and Nikita Krylov. Currently, Reyes is ranked at number eight in the light heavyweight division. His professional record currently stands at 15 wins and 4 losses.
Carlos Ulberg hasn’t lost a fight in four years. The light heavyweight is currently on a hot streak as he’s won eight fights in a row. Ulberg impressively destroyed Tafon Nchukwi, Nicolae Negumereanu, Ihor Potieria, and Alonzo Menifield via TKO. However, his biggest win came against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jan Błachowicz at UFC London in March. Carlos is currently ranked at number five in the light heavyweight division. His professional record currently stands at 12 wins and 1 loss.
