Dominick Reyes Draws Inspiration from Marc Marquez Ahead of UFC 314 Bout

Dominick Reyes — currently ranked 11th in the UFC light heavyweight division — reveals that MotoGP rider Marc Marquez‘s career ups and downs serve as inspiration ahead of his UFC 314 appearance.

The Devastator carries positive momentum — the 35-year-old fighter has secured two consecutive KO/TKO victories over Dustin Jacoby last June and Anthony Smith at UFC 310 four months ago.

Reyes‘s career path faced turbulence — following his title fight loss to Jon Jones at UFC 247 five years ago, he endured four consecutive defeats that impacted his reputation.

This weekend, Dominick Reyes will attempt to extend his winning streak against Ukrainian fighter Nikita Krylov — a crucial matchup for improving his position in the light heavyweight division.

As a key point, Reyes‘s resilience in the face of setbacks mirrors the career challenges faced by Marc Marquez—who has also experienced dramatic highs and lows in his career.

Reyes‘s recent comeback is a testament to his mental toughness— and a victory over Krylov could be a pivotal moment in his quest to re-establish himself as a top contender in the UFC light heavyweight division.
