Ulberg and Reyes compete for a potential title eliminator, to see who will fight the winner of Magomed Ankalaev and Alex Pereira at UFC 320.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_bxmipk8yl\">To say this is a high-stakes fight is an understatement, especially considering Reyes&#8217; path to redemption. &#8216;The Devastator&#8217; arguably beat Jon Jones in 2019 before suffering a four-fight losing streak. He&#8217;s since bounced back from near-fatal health conditions to secure a three-fight streak.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"Dominick Reye\" title=\"Dominick Reye\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Sam Navarro-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_yuj46ezlm\">&#8220;As long as I stay in a place of gratitude, a place of love, it\u2019s a very powerful emotion, and it\u2019s hard to beat someone when they\u2019re having fun and enjoying themselves and they\u2019re grateful for every day,\u201d Reyes told <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_gsswpw\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufc.com\/news\/dominick-reyes-grateful-to-get-to-do-all-this-again-ufc-perth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UFC.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_aekp5wt37\">As for Ulberg, a title shot becomes the opportunity to follow in the same footsteps as fellow countryman and training partner, Israel Adesanya. The City Kickboxing product is 8-1 in the UFC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_kmu9xn3bi\">&#8220;It&#8217;s my first headliner, first five-rounder.
