UFC: Dominick Reyes Style & Form

2020 was not a good year for the third-ranked UFC light-heavyweight fighter Dominick Reyes. After earning himself six wins in the UFC and knocking out Chris Weidman in the process, Reyes was given a shot at the light-heavyweight title against Jon Jones. Unfortunately, he lost the fight via unanimous decision, despite performing very well. 

His performance was so good against the defending champion that he got another opportunity to fight for the vacant title seven months later against Jan Blachowicz. The fight seemed to be neck-and-neck until Blachowicz opened up a barrage of fists in the second round to knock Reyes out. 

Reyes holds an MMA record of 12 victories and two losses. He is a fighter who prefers to stand up and exchange shots with his opponents. He holds a blue belt in BJJ, but his grappling isn’t a weapon he can depend on with confidence. Seven of his victories have come by knockout, three by decision and only two by submission. 

He is coming into this fight after a devastating knockout defeat against a powerful opponent and his confidence is severely shaken.

 

UFC: Jiri Prochazka Style & Form:

 

Jiri Prochazka spent most of his career fighting in the Czech Republic and Japan. He holds an MMA record of 27 victories and two defeats. The most impressive part of his record is that 24 of his wins came via knockout.

He made his UFC debut in July 2020 and quickly made an impression on UFC fans everywhere.

His debut was against Volkan Oezdemir and the fight was nothing short of spectacular. Prochazka repeatedly put his hands on his hips, allowing Volkan to land heavy blows to the head. 

Anyone else might have been knocked out by the power of Oezdemir, but Jiri ate his best shots and continued to fight in his unorthodox way. Prochazka spiced his performance with unusual hand gestures, which tend to confuse a lot of fighters.

The cherry on top was the way that fight ended. After eating Volkan’s best shots, Prochazka rocked his opponent with a head kick and went on to finish him with a stiff right hand.

Prochazka is also a fighter that prefers to stand up and get into exchanges with his opponents. His unusual fighting style leaves his head open for opponents to target, but he is also very durable and can take the shots as they come.

 

UFC: Reyes vs Prochazka Bets

 

Both Reyes and Prochazka prefer to use their stand-up and also have significant knockout power. The key factor in this fight will be how Prochazka’s chin performs. He was able to eat shots in his last fight without being knocked down, but eventually, this will become a problem. 

He will likely continue using his unusual fighting style to try to get into the head of Reyes. 

The fight will not go to the ground, but will likely be decided via KO/TKO.

That being said, Reyes has displayed a lack of confidence since his fight against Jones, and the knockout against Blachowicz has further worsened his form.

Prochazka has a seven-centimeter reach advantage and he is in much better form. He has the power to put anyone to sleep in a blink of an eye and the confidence to shake Reyes.

 

Back Prochazka to win via KO/TKO at 2,00 odds.
