Dominick Reyes has issues his first post-fight comments since his knockout loss to Jiri Prochazka in the UFC on ESPN 23 main event. Reyes (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) saw his losing skid hit three fights this past Saturday, when he was on the receiving end of just the third spinning back elbow knockout in UFC history against Prochazka (28-3-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) in their light heavyweight headliner at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. It was a scary scene when Reyes went down, as he face-planted to the canvas in awkward fashion, landing head-first. After a few minutes, he was able to return to his feet and leave the octagon under his own power, but questions about his future followed after a violent finish and third consecutive defeat.
