Reyes vs Poatan next?

[B-Level]

Reyes will likely be #8 ranked next. He’s hungry for a title shot and isn’t getting any younger.

Alex should have an eliminator fight if he’s not ready to rematch Ank in the timeframe that Ank and the UFC expect.

How do you see this one playing out?

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

How about Poatan vs Chris Weidman?

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

That's a good idea. I think we've all been getting tired of Reyes' career turnaround at this point anyway, so it's best we just kill him.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Reyes/Spann 2

 

[svmr_db]

Pereira is getting his rematch and he'll do it on the timeline the UFC wants, don't kid yourself.

Are we pretending Alex isn't getting an immediate rematch?

I expect Reyes to fight either Rakic or Jan next.

he should try to get the jan win back.

if the ufc really wants to push the reyes story, give him ulberg

I can definitely see Rakic vs Reyes being more likely than Jan vs Reyes 2. The UFC doesn't really like to do rematches these days unless it's for title fights or they absolutely have no other option.

hopefully pereira breaks his other leg

No Poatan will challenge for the belt. Reyes vs. Ulberg would be better.

Yeah they only make rematches when there's big fan demand like Vettori vs Dolidze 2.

 

[Fedorgasm]

I hope they give Reyes a fast path to a title shot. They kinda owe him for the Jon Jones fiasco

 

[andgonsil]

They are buddies

 

[JoeRowe]

Ank vs Poatan 2 is inevitable
Reyes vs Ulberg
Jiri vs Blachowicz
Rakic vs Bogdan

 

[SovereignPhantom]

Rakic or Ulberg are good fights to test Reyes if they don't want to do rematches. But personally I really wanna see him vs Jiri again. He flash KO'd Jiri into top side control somehow (only in a Jiri fight lol) and I would love to see them go at it having both come back from adversity to have great showings against lower ranked guys.

Lol it is funny how they tend to make the rematches people don't want to see before the ones people do want to see but I think Vettori vs Dolidze 2 however was a pretty good example of "they had no other options" cause we already know that match up was not their first choice.

For me, its either rakic or jan rematch
The rematch has potential for a 5 rnd main event at the apex

They don't owe him shit.

 

[Captain Insano]

I doubt it.

 

[KO Shotz]

Rountree vs Hill is booked, Jiri vs Ulberg is probably happening next, & who knows if Jan is done or not. The only matchups that make sense for Reyes going forward are Rakic or a rematch with Oezdemir. & those fights don't get him any closer to a title shot.
