A pivotal light heavyweight main event clash will kick May off with a bang. Former title challenger Dominick Reyes (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) faces Jiri Prochazka (27-3-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in the main event of UFC on ESPN 23, which takes place on May 1 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Reyes, who gave former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones arguably the toughest outing of his career, will look to snap a two-fight losing skid. After a lostt to Jones at UFC 247 in February 2020, Reyes received another crack at the title when he met Jan Blachowicz for the vacant 205-pound belt at UFC 253 in September. In that fight, Reyes fell short in his title pursuit once again, when he was stopped by Blachowicz in Round 2.
