Dominick Reyes didn’t have the best 2020.

While he received plaudits for pushing Jon Jones to the limit in their light heavyweight title fight at UFC 247 — which many observers felt he won — he ultimately lost a unanimous decision and suffered his first professional loss in the process.

He would get his chance at the vacant title against Jan Blachowicz at UFC 258 in September only to suffer a second-round TKO defeat and a broken nose as well.

The last few months have naturally been tough for “The Devastator” who revealed that he went to a dark place following his defeat to Blachowicz.

That said, he sees it as a blessing in disguise ahead of his UFC Vegas 25 headliner against Jiri Prochazka.

“Second loss, first time ever being beaten,” Reyes said at media day (via MMA Junkie). “It was tough. It was a lot of soul searching, a lot of examining my camp, examining myself, examining my mindset. Yeah, it sucked, but it was a blessing in disguise because I was able to get back to what makes me, me. I was able to get excited again about fighting and enjoying the whole process of everything.

“… I realized how much toxicity is out there, and I let it seep into me, previously. It was just a learning lesson, you know? But then also, I did go dark. I went to that dark place and really examined myself and everything around me and really, really took a good look at things from a realistic point of view, and then I found the light, and now I’m back.”

Things won’t be any easier as Prochazka — a former RIZIN champion — is a finishing machine who enjoyed an emphatic debut by knocking Volkan Oezdemir out last year.

However, Reyes is excited for the opportunity to face him and get all the hype back with a decisive result.

“He was smart not coming to the UFC earlier because his skills weren’t developed,” Reyes added. “I still think they’re not good enough to beat me, so we’ll see. We’re going to see.

“I’m excited about the opportunity. It’s one of those things where this guy has all the hype that I once had, and it’s an opportunity for me to get it all back.”

Light-heavyweight contenders Dominick Reyes and Jiri Prochazka will no longer throw down at UFC Vegas 20 on February 27.

Reyes was hoping to propel himself back into the 205lb title mix after falling short in consecutive title fights.

UFC newcomer Prochazka made a big splash in his promotional debut by knocking out former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir.

“The fight has been postponed from February 27th but I’m looking forward to fighting Reyes in the near future, and wish him a quick recovery,” Prochazka wrote on Twitter.

Before this announcement fight fans already knew something was up, as heavyweight contender Jairzinho Rozenstruik revealed his upcoming fight with Ciryl Gane will now take place over five rounds on February 27.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my fight against Ciryl Gane got rescheduled for February 27! 5×5 minutes main card,” Rozenstruik wrote. “Spread the word!”

The heavyweight pair were originally scheduled to fight at the UFC Fight Night card on March 13. Rozenstruik and Gane had been set to scrap for three rounds on the undercard of Leon Edwards vs. Khamzat Chimaev but will now square off two weeks earlier in the main event slot.

Gane stretched his perfect record to 7-0 last time out. The Frenchman picked up the biggest win of his career when he stopped former heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos at UFC 256.

Rozenstruik also beat Dos Santos last time out. ‘Big Boi’ stopped the Brazillian in round two of their fight at UFC 252. Prior to that he was vicously knocked out by Francis Ngannou. Rozenstruik also holds a high-profile knockout win over Alistair Overeem.
