Welcome to the live blog coverage of the UFC 314 main card featuring a light heavyweight bout between Nikita Krylov and Dominick Reyes. The fight is set to take place this Saturday at the Kaseya Center in Miami.
Nikita Krylov, currently ranked No. 9 in the light heavyweight division by MMA Fighting Global Rankings, will face Dominick Reyes, who is ranked No. 15.
This fight marks Krylov`s return to the Octagon after a significant absence of 763 days, with his last appearance being on March 11, 2023. Despite his inactivity, Krylov remains a prominent figure in the rankings, thanks to his previous three-fight winning streak, which included impressive first-round finishes against Ryan Spann and former title challenger Alexander Gustafsson.
Dominick Reyes is looking to solidify his comeback in the light heavyweight division. Once known for his close fight with Jon Jones, Reyes experienced a four-fight losing streak after his title challenge at UFC 247. However, he has since rebounded with two consecutive knockout victories, defeating Dustin Jacoby in June 2024 and Anthony Smith at UFC 310. Another victory in this fight could propel Reyes back into the top 10 rankings.
