UFC light heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes<\/a> issued a statement following his brutal knockout loss to Jiri Prochazka at UFC Vegas 25.<\/p>\n

Reyes entered this fight against Prochazka on the heels of back-to-back losses to Jon Jones and Jan Blachowicz, so he badly needed to get a win and get back in the victory column. Unfortunately for Reyes, the fight did not go his way once again as Prochazka battered him all over the Octagon until eventually scoring the finish in the second round. It was another phenomenal performance by Prochazka, who looks to be a serious title contender at 205lbs, while for Reyes it was another tough loss that will drop him out of title contention.<\/p>\n

Taking to his social media<\/a> two days after the fight, Reyes issued a statement reacting to the KO loss to Prochazka. Check out what “The Devastator” said in his statement below.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally home and surrounded by those I love, I\u2019d like to say, I went out there and fought with all my heart,\u201d Reyes wrote. \u201cI put it all out there and I\u2019m glad it was entertaining for most of you. I\u2019m happy and upset as you can imagine as I didn\u2019t get the desired outcome. But I went out and fought and for that I can say I\u2019m proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reyes said on Instagram:<\/p>\n

\u201cI love this game and at times it does not love me back but that\u2019s what we have all signed up for. I want to say I\u2019m doing good healing up I\u2019ll be OK. And congrats to [Prochazka] Hell of a fight and what an elbow! It\u2019s the ones you don\u2019t see coming that get you. God bless you all and I\u2019ll see you guys at the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n

The loss for Reyes stings, as he’s now lost three straight fights in the Octagon, albeit to elite competition in the form of Jones, Blachowicz, and Prochazka. With that being said, it’s hard to say where he stands right now in the division. He is clearly a talented fighter and he showed that on his way up the rankings and when he fought Jones, but the last two fights against Blachowicz and Prochazka showed that he might not be at the championship level that we once thought Reyes was at. He is still a phenomenal talent and should find a way to remain in the top-10 of the UFC light heavyweight division going forward, but there is no doubt Reyes is in a must-win situation the next time that he steps back into the cage.<\/p>\n
