Wilson Reis UFC flyweight and onetime title challenger John Dodson squeaked out a decision win over ex-Bellator MMA champion Zach Makovsky this past Saturday at UFC 187, so the next contender could very well be set for the promotion. Although Joseph Benavidez looked far more impressive in a unanimous-decision win over onetime contender John Moraga, the Team Alpha Male standout is 0-2 against champ Demtrious Johnson. Dodson is merely 0-1, and he gave Johnson a good fight, so he’s likely the next guy in line. New blood is still in short supply at the top; Johnson has beaten just about everybody who’s been around for a minute. But Brazilian Wilson Reis thinks things are about to change. “Without a doubt, soon enough a new challenger for the belt will emerge,” the former EliteXC bantamweight champ told MMAjunkie.
