Dominick Reyes Bio

Dominick Reyes is an American UFC light heavyweight known as “The Devastator.” Born December 26, 1989, in Hesperia, California, he stands 6-foot-4 and fights out of Victorville. As of September 11, 2026, the UFC lists Reyes as an active competitor in its light heavyweight division, training at Cobra Kai Victorville. The promotion describes him as a kickboxer, while his long frame, southpaw stance and emphasis on kicks have been central elements of his MMA approach.

Before MMA, Reyes was a defensive back at Stony Brook University, where he became a two-time All-Big South honoree and later joined the school’s 2026 Athletics Hall of Fame class. He turned professional in 2014 and made his UFC debut against Joachim Christensen on June 25, 2017, earning a first-round stoppage. Reyes challenged Jon Jones for the UFC light heavyweight title on February 8, 2020, then challenged Jan Błachowicz for the vacant belt on September 27, 2020; he did not win either championship. His April 11, 2026 split-decision victory over Johnny Walker marked his most recent completed UFC appearance as of the stated date.
