Dominick Reyes vs Carlos Ulberg

Predictions: 6 of 12 Winners, 2 Perfect, 365 Points   |   Tied for 1132nd

It's still early to say anything about this without knowing much about fight camps/weigh in's as Reyes looked weak and slow in his last fight, hope he made changes to his strength and conditioning sessions. But Reyes lost to 3 champions and Spann who had a career best performance that night.  Ulberg lost to Nzechukwu who is not on the same level as the four Reyes lost to. Ulberg as of right now doesn't have a win against a top level opponent either, this is his first big test.

Even if Dom is washed this is a huge step up, expect to see the regional kickboxer on his back.
Carlos has proven almost nothing, this is his chance that is it.
For Dom if he loses anything but a close decision he will probably get cut or retire.

@Joshjeffords 
Reyes might get cut but I doubt he will retire, he is only 33 still, he can go to other promotions and see how it goes.
