Two-time light heavyweight title challenger Dominick
Reyes will return to action against the surging Carlos
Ulberg at UFC
297.
The promotion announced the booking during the UFC 295 broadcast on
Saturday night. UFC 297 takes place at the Scotiabank Arena in
Toronto on Jan. 20 and is headlined by a middleweight championship
clash pitting Sean
Strickland against Dricus Du
Plessis.
Reyes is in the midst of a four-bout skid that dates back to a
competitive championship loss to Jon Jones at
UFC 247 in February 2020. More recently, “The Devastator” suffered
a first-round KO defeat to Ryan Spann at
UFC 281.
Ulberg, meanwhile, has quietly been building momentum at 205
pounds. The City Kickboxing representative has won his last five
Octagon appearances, including a third-round submission of Da Woon
Jung in his last outing at UFC 293.
