LAS VEGAS – Dominick Reyes got off to a quick start, but then admittedly had to slow things down to beat Ovince Saint Preux. For the first time in his UFC career, Reyes had to go out of the first round. He knocked Saint Preux down in the first, but eventually found himself fighting still in the second and third. With just a few seconds left in the fight, Reyes connected and dropped Saint Preux for what he presumed was a walkoff knockout. Instead, the clock ticked down a few more seconds without the bout being waved off, and Reyes (10-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC) had his first decision win in the UFC , and a big victory over Saint Preux (23-12 MMA, 11-7 UFC). Reyes said not hurrying in the first round was important.
