“I don’t take any pressure from it,” he said. “I think it’s more pressure for my opponents because they don’t know how to beat me. They can’t beat me. There’s no way. I haven’t lost. I think it’s more of a badge of honor for me to be undefeated. I got my 10-0 badge. It’s good. Life is good.”
At each level, Reyes lives up to his nickname, “The Devastator.” Steamrolling through his first three UFC fights, he handled his first top-10 opponent with relative ease. In March, he gets his first top-5 opponent, one who likely has more power than anybody else he has faced in his young career. That said, he hasn’t given any reasons to doubt his ability to rise to the levels necessary and impress more people along the way.
When asked to describe his fighting style, he advised fans not to blink to make sure they don’t miss a second of his fights. In terms of his ascension in the UFC, that same statement applies.
“It’s definitely something to behold, so behold,” he said.
When it comes to following his career arc, that seems like pretty good advice, too.
