Dominick Reyes vs. Chris Weidman

Weidman made his light heavyweight debut against 'The Devastator' Dominick Reyes on 18th October 2019 at the main event of UFC on ESPN 6 at Boston, Massachusetts.

As soon as the bell rang to signal the start of the first round, Weidman distanced himself from Reyes immediately and took a kick to the body. Weidman shot for a takedown but failed to keep Reyes grounded. Weidman still had the body lock on Reyes, which the latter calmly defended and got out of with ease.

Weidman and Reyes were back on their feet, and in striking distance when a straight left by Reyes cracked Weidman on the chin. As Weidman fell to the ground, Reyes laid some nasty ground and pound on the former champion, knocking the lights out of him as Herb Dean had to step in and stop the contest at one minute and forty three seconds of the first round.
