Welcome to the live blog coverage of the UFC 314 main card light heavyweight bout between Nikita Krylov and Dominick Reyes, taking place Saturday at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Nikita Krylov, ranked #9 in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings for the 205-pound division, will face off against Dominick Reyes, who is currently ranked #15.
Krylov returns to the octagon after a significant absence of 763 days since his last fight on March 11, 2023. Despite his inactivity, Krylov`s position in the rankings has remained relatively stable, thanks to his impressive three-fight winning streak, which includes first-round finishes over Ryan Spann (submission) and Alexander Gustafsson (knockout).
Reyes is on a path to revitalize his career. After experiencing a four-fight losing streak following his close title fight loss to Jon Jones at UFC 247, Reyes made a strong comeback. In June 2024, he secured a quick two-minute knockout victory against Dustin Jacoby and followed it up with a second-round finish of Anthony Smith at UFC 310. Another victory could propel Reyes back into the top 10 rankings.
