Dustin Jacoby (19-8-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC) is looking to return to the win column at the expense of former light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC) at UFC Louisville at the KFC Yum! Center in Kentucky on June 8.
Jacoby said Reyes is a “very dangerous” opponent whose back is against the wall.
“I know how that feeling is,” Jacoby told MMASucka. “I know what it feels like to have my back against the wall and people counting you out. He’s big, he’s strong, he’s athletic.”
Reyes challenged Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title in February 2020 and lost a unanimous decision where many felt Reyes had done enough for the upset.
