UFC light heavyweight contender Dominick Reyes enjoyed a fruitful trip to Miami last week, but not quite as much so as he feels was merited.
Reyes was tasked with opening the main card of Saturday's UFC 314 pay-per-view inside Miami's Kaseya Center opposite longtime top 10 contender Nikita Krylov.
"The Devastator" continued his impressive career resurgence with a third straight victory, which came by way of a brutal knockout in the opening round that drew comparisons to Conor McGregor's title-winning finish of Jose Aldo.
During an appearance on Monday's episode of The Ariel Helwani Show on Uncrowned, Reyes reflected on his victory at UFC 314 and addressed the fact that it did not earn him a $50K performance bonus from the promotion.
It's definitely upsetting (not to get a bonus)," Dominick Reyes said. "Number 11 vs. number eight. I knocked him out in the first round to jump off the main card of the best card of the year.
It definitely hurt, but it is what it is. Bottom line, I'm winning, man, we're moving forward," Reyes concluded.
