For Dominick Reyes, Chris Weidman goes from gold standard to gold obstacle

Dominick Reyes isn’t the type to hide his enthusiasm about the excitement swirling around him.

Reyes landed in Boston earlier this week and arrived in a sports-crazy city where he’ll soon be headlining a major MMA event. The posters have his face on them, the commercials tell his story, the production will focus on whether he has the goods to take the next step up the UFC light heavyweight ladder on the road to a potential title fight with Jon Jones. He’s not just not on the championship radar; he may only be one well-placed strike away.
