The year is 2017. It's August. Alex Reyes has just punched his ticket to the UFC with a 66 second KO of Gil Guardado. Let's take a look around...
POLITICS
US President: Donald Trump won the Presidency 7 months ago
UK Prime Minister: Theresa May has been in post for just over a year and Britain has just triggered Article 50 (Brexit)
Australian Prime Minister: Malcolm Turnbull has been in charge for nearly two years
In France, Emmanuel Macron defeats Marine Le Pen to become France's youngest President two months earlier
In Saudi Arabia, Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS) became Crown Prince just 1 month ago
Re: China, Xi Jinping is called 'King of China' by Trump, receives a standing ovation at Davos, as well as accolades in Europe for his pledges toward the Paris climate agreement
Queen Elizabeth II still has another 5 years to live
Robert Mugabe enters his last few months as President of Zimbabwe
In Myanmar, 25,000 Rohingya are being killed in the Rohingya Genocide
The IMF say “The outlook is strengthening, with a notable pickup in investment, trade, and industrial production, together with rising confidence. [However] recovery [from the 'Great Recession'] is not yet complete.”
Covid19? The hell is that even?
UFC
The most recent show was UFC Fight Night: Pettis vs Moreno, where Sergio Pettis defeated Brandon Moreno by Unanimous Decision. Sam Alvey just won for the 4th time in his last 5 fights, defeating Rashad Evans.
The most recent PPV was UFC 214: Jones vs Cormier II where Jones originally won, only to be stripped of the UFC Light Heavyweight title for the second time, this time due to anabolic steroid use. The bout is ruled a No Contest.
Tyron Woodley successfully defends his UFC Welterweight title against Demian Maia in the co-main event, Cris Cyborg goes 3-0 in the UFC after beating Tonya Evinger, Robbie Lawler decisions Cowboy Cerrone, Volkan Oezdemir starches Jimi Manuwa in 42 seconds, Aljo beats Renan Barao, Jarred Brooks beats Eric Shelton, and Drew Dober batters Josh Burkman.
UFC Debuts Prior:
Justin Gaethje beats Michael Johnson by R2TKO at The Ultimate Fighter Finale
Sean O'Malley has just debuted on Contender Series
Paulo Costa is 2-0 after beating Garreth McLellan and Oluwale Bamgbose
Alex's own brother Dominick Reyes has just made his debut, beating Joachim Christensen
Zabit Magomedsharipov has not even debuted yet and will do so in 1 month's time
TIMELINE
If Alex Reyes beats Tom Nolan on Saturday it will have been 2551 days since his last win.
He is just 0-2 in the UFC.
Good luck, Alex!
