Fast-tracking his way to a title opportunity, Reyes made quick work of the likes of Joachim Christensen, Jeremy Kimball, middleweight contender, Jared Cannonier, and former middleweight best, Chris Weidman - in between decision triumphs over one-time title challengers, Ovince Saint Preux, and Volkan Oezdemir.

In the form of his career, #3 ranked contender, Błachowicz - added the previously mentioned, Anderson, to a winning run which includes a close split decision win over one-time Strikeforce middleweight best, Jacaré Souza, as well as a highlight-reel knockout of fellow former Strikeforce 185-pound best, and UFC gold holder, Luke Rockhold.
