UFC's Dominick Reyes continues improbable comeback with KO victory
UFC's Dominick Reyes continued his comeback with a first-round knockout of Azamat Murzakanov in a lightweight bout at UFC 333 Saturday, Oct. 24.
UFC fighter Dominick Reyes staged an impressive comeback with a knockout victory over Russian Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi. Reyes, who is 36 years old, improved his record to 17-5 with 11 knockouts, including a surprising first-round finish. After the bout, Reyes expressed his desire to face light heavyweight contenders Paulo Costa or Khalil Rountree, Jr., in upcoming fights.
Despite his career decline, Reyes has won five of his last six fights and previously fought notable opponents such as Jon Jones and Jan Blachowicz. His career took a turn for the worse when he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in early 2024, but he quickly returned to the octagon and secured his latest victory.
