Former UFC bantamweight title challenger Dominic Reyes shared his thoughts on his recent victory over Nikita Krylov and discussed his future plans in the sport.
Reyes admitted he was confident he would land a significant punch but didn`t anticipate a knockout finish against Krylov, as Krylov had never been knocked out before. He expected to hurt Krylov with a punch, then follow up with strikes to secure a finish, but the knockout came sooner than expected.
He highlighted the intense training he underwent for the fight, starting his preparation just two weeks after his wedding. Looking ahead, Reyes mentioned a possible return to the octagon in October. He expressed his desire to be back in action by then so he could enjoy his birthday in December without being in heavy training.
Reyes secured a first-round knockout victory against Krylov at UFC 314 in Miami, USA.
