Pereira up next

ANALYSIS
Reese will have three inches of height and four inches of reach over Pereira, and finishing 2025 with a 2-1 record also gives Reese a momentum advantage over his opponent, who has lost each of his last three fights.

Scores late-notice victory
Reese defeated Jackson McVey via submission (rear-naked choke) at 1:38 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Reese accepted this fight just a few days ago following the withdrawal of Robert Valentin. He looked rusty early on, struggling with the constant pressure and physicality of McVey. He eventually got a reprieve after an accidental low blow gave him a few minutes to recover, and from there, he leaned on his grappling for success. All told, Reese landed all three of his takedown attempts, in addition to the rear-naked choke which closed the show and earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Reese will be 32 years old next March and has been inconsistent during his time with the UFC (4-2, 1NC), but he has definite value for a company which holds an event most every Saturday.

Steps in on short notice
Reese will take on Jackson McVey in a middleweight bout at UFC 111 on Nov. 8, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Reese steps in on extremely short notice to take on McVey, who needed a new opponent after Robert Valentin backed out of the fight for undisclosed reasons. Reese will be looking to bounce back after he accidentally landed a low blow on Sedriques Dumas in his last bout, forcing a no contest. He currently sits at 3-2 in the UFC.

Accidental foul leads to no contest
Reese and Sedriques Dumas fought to a no contest (accidental foul) at 0:51 of Round 1 at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Reese is going to be kicking himself after this one. Entering as a -250 favorite in a fight he had a great chance of winning, he clipped Dumas with a low blow about a minute into the fight, and the latter was immediately writhing in pain and eventually unable to continue. Reese should be crossing his fingers the UFC tries to re-book this matchup as soon as Dumas is physically able.

Facing Dumas at Noche
Reese will fight Sedriques Dumas at Noche UFC on Sep. 13, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
After getting back in the win column versus Dusko Todorovic back in May, Reese will have the chance to win back-to-back matches as he travels to San Antonio. The 6-foot-4 middleweight is now 3-2 in the UFC, and he'll try to stay above .500 against Dumas, who's yet to win an octagon appearance in 2025.
