Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Reyes made his professional MMA debut in 2008 and compiled an overall record of 7-2 before being signed by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Reyes had originally tried out for The Ultimate Fighter 18 and didn't make the cut but demonstrated enough talent to earn a call from the promotion a year later.

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Reyes made his promotional debut against Dustin Kimura On January 4, 2014 at UFC Fight Night 34.[4] Reyes lost via armbar submission in the first round.[5]

Reyes was next scheduled to face Richie Vaculik at UFC Fight Night 43 on June 28, 2014. However, Reyes was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Roldan Sangcha-an.[6]

Reyes then dropped down to the Flyweight division and faced Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC Fight Night 52 on September 20, 2014.[7] Reyes was defeated via first-round TKO.[8]

Reyes faced Roldan Sangcha-an on May 16, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 66.[9] He won the fight by submission in the second round. The win also earned Reyes his first Fight of the Night bonus award.[10]

Reyes faced Neil Seery on October 24, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 76.[11] He lost the bout via submission in the second round.[12]
