Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes Preview
Nikita Krylov (30-9) returns after a hiatus of nearly two years. The break was his own choice – he wanted to get some rest from fighting and get ready for the next stage of his career.
At the age of 33, “The Miner” looks set for a new run, which could take him all the way to the title fight. This guy is a great finisher – 28 wins, split between 12 KOs and 16 submissions – and enters UFC 314 on a three-fight streak, each victory coming via a different method.
His main weakness? Submissions. Six of his nine losses came that way. But that shouldn’t worry him much in the UFC 314 fight with Dominick Reyes (14-4). The thing is that this guy is all about striking, which worked for him in the last two fights.
“The Devastator” is rebuilding after a rough skid, and if he continues doing well, he could get another shot at the title.

The man who almost beat Jon Jones in a controversial decision loss lost three fights straight by KO/TKO from 2020 to 2022. But after a two-year break, he bounced back strong in 2024, stopping Dustin Jacoby and then finishing Anthony Smith.
Nikita Krylov vs. Dominick Reyes Prediction
We think Krylov will win this fight. He’s a much more well-rounded fighter than Reyes, so we might see him decide to take the fight to the ground. He’s had plenty of time to prepare for his UFC comeback, so expect him to get the job done.
