Eating a kick to the groin while throwing a spinning back fist is something I'd never care to experience

Volkan throws HEAT

Oezdemir making good use of well timed takedowns in the first round.

This is a very technical fight for the 205 weight class. #Oezdemir #Reyes

— Dennis Bermudez (@MenaceBermudez) March 16, 2019

Not sure if Reyes is a bit flat tonight or if he’s waiting out the initial rushes of Oezdemir, but the pressure seems to be paying off for the Swiss fighter.

Oezdemir starts round 2 with an overhand. Lowkicks from Oezdemir and he slips on a high kick. Reyes with a body kick, but he's not jumping on opportunities. Nice low kick from Reyes. #UFCLondon

Volkan takes a left to the jaw. Reyes seems to have found a rhythm and is keeping the shorter man away #UFCLondon

Reyes prob needs to finish this

— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) March 16, 2019

That round was really close, likely 20-18 Oezdemir after two. Solid counters and footwork by Reyes, but he's just not connecting as well as his opponent.

Oz up two rounds. Reyes not fighting long and having trouble with his nose, which is likely broken. #ufclondon pic.twitter.com/woAfSMi3rw

Volkan is doing a great job of making Reyes look bad. #UFCLondon

I feel like @volkan_oezdemir looks the same whether he’s tired, happy, fighting, or eating

— Dennis Bermudez (@MenaceBermudez) March 16, 2019

Dominick Reyes has been backing Oezdemir up and landing great shots for two minutes and the commentary is fascinated with the term cheese grater instead. Not their best work. 29-28 Reyes @MMADecisions

That was one heck of a smart performance from Volkan Oezdemir. Took a good deal of air out of the Dom Reyes hype balloon. #UFCLondon

Thats a win for my bro @volkan_oezdemir #UFCLondon

Think the Reyes hype train just got derailed… #UFCLondon

What a fight @DomReyes wow! #UFCLondon

Really? I had that one scored for "No Time." Didn't think it was split, either. #UFCLondon pic.twitter.com/W9dhW5r1Li

HOW?! #UFCLondon

Jon Jones, upon hearing the Dominick Reyes is coming for him, gets a full eight hours of uninterrupted sleep tonight.

— Dave Doyle (@davedoylemma) March 16, 2019

Reyes won by a split. I have NO FUCKING IDEA HOW?! Did I watch a completely different fight?? Oezedemir definitely lost the 3RD. Looked like he took the RD off. But RD 1&2 were Volkans, IMHO. #UFCLondon

Unpopular opinion

Reyes didn’t win that fight
