The co-main event at UFC Louisville pits the No.15-ranked Dominick Reyes against Dustin Jacoby.
Reyes' career has seen better days. Once touted as the next big thing in the light heavyweight division following his closely contested unanimous decision loss to Jon Jones, 'The Devastator' is currently on a four-fight skid.
What is concerning is that Reyes has lost his last three fights via knockout, bringing into question whether he deserves to be on the 205-pound rankings. A win against the unranked Jacoby is a non-negotiable for the 34-year-old if he is to reaffirm his place in the division.
The other half of the main event, Jacoby too is having a less-than-ideal run in the UFC. While the 'Dana White's Contender Series' alumnus showed early promise, he has suffered several setbacks in recent years.
'The Hanyak' is 2-3 in his last five with his latest octagon outing ending in a unanimous decision loss to Alonzo Menifield. Jacoby is in desperate need of a win this weekend.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Jacoby is a -238 favorite over Reyes (+195 underdog).
