UFC Fight Night on ESPN2: Reyes vs Weidman airs exclusively on ESPN2 tonight, Friday, October 18, at 6 p.m. ET from TD Garden in Boston, MA. The main event features a light heavyweight bout between No. 4 ranked contender Dominick Reyes (11-0-0) vs former middleweight champion Chris Weidman who makes his debut at the light heavyweight division. The co-main features a featherweight matchup between Yair Rodriguez (12-2-0, 1 NC) and Jeremy Stephens (28-16-0, 1 NC).
Reyes enters the Octagon for his first main event with a perfect 11-0 record. He joined UFC in 2017, making a rapid ascent up the light heavyweight rankings, with big victories over veterans Jeremy Kimball, Jared Cannonier, Ovince Saint Preux and most recently a win over former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir at UFC London. Weidman, one of the best middleweights of this era, will look to make a statement in the 205-pound division by delivering Reyes his first professional loss.
The co-main will feature one of the most heated rivalries in recent history as Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens meet at the Octagon again after their UFC Mexico City bout last month, which ended in a no contest after an accidental eye poke.
