Dominick Reyes has been talked about as a future light heavyweight title contender and that buzz will only grow after Friday.
“The Devastator” lived up to his nickname in the UFC on ESPN 6 main event in Boston, needing less than two minutes to dispose of former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, who was competing at 205 pounds for the first time. That impressive performance followed a memorable three-round featherweight battle between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens, a scrap that all but erased the bitter memory of their truncated first encounter.
See what fighters had to say on social media about an eventful night at TD Garden:
Dominick Reyes def. Chris Weidman
@DomReyes is a beast. He trained with us here in Denver for a camp and that man is a work horse. #UFCBoston #ufc #50k

Gahd Damnnn!!! Reyes like an absolute savage. So clean!
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) October 19, 2019
I still stand by the opinion that the jump from 185 to 205 is the biggest in terms of power/strength of all the divisions. Those 205ers hit like heavyweights.
Title shot next?? #UFCBoston
chin up champ @chrisweidman you a legend
— Dillon Danis (@dillondanis) October 19, 2019
Damnnnnnnnnn sharp #UFCBoston
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) October 19, 2019

— Sodiq Yusuff (@Super_Sodiq) October 19, 2019
205 is no joke. #UFCBoston
— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) October 19, 2019

Greg Hardy def. Ben Sosoli
You can’t an inhaler between rounds idiot. That is cheating and should be disqualification!!!! https://t.co/B6EI4XNorn

Inhaler or not @GregHardyJr should win
— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) October 19, 2019
I understand rules are rules. But what’s the big whoop if someone used an inhaler or not?!? #UFCBoston
— Brad Tavares (@BradTavares) October 19, 2019
I been searching for this answer for all his fights now. I get it’s not his fault bc he doesn’t make that call. But damnnn, the undercard next having scrappers that dont get the shine they earned, over match ups like these #UFCBoston https://t.co/rdctaRXFf1

— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) October 19, 2019
Wow. That’s gotta be one of the worst ways to get beaten up wtf #UFCBoston

Weird stoppage. I wonder if they were men, would the opinion change of stepping in.
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) October 19, 2019
Nothing against the ref but consistency man. Last week the ref let a guy get murdered. This week, a girl tried to fight back and gets cut short. Tough. #UFCBoston
That’s fair to say https://t.co/n6r98pnS0q
