12 UFC Fights You Can't Miss In March
8. Volkan Oezdemir Vs. Dominick Reyes - UFC Fight Night 145
Despite having only one real major strength as a fighter, Volkan Oezdemir has managed to defy the odds and become a top contender within the UFC's 205lb division. While he's missing the skillset to beat the top names, he's got a role that's just as important and that's testing out the newbies in the weight class.
Enter undefeated top prospect, Dominick Reyes. The former IT technical support helper turned UFC rising star has really shown a well-rounded game that continues to evolve every time we see him in the Octagon.
Although his last fight, with Ovince St. Preux, went to a decision, that felt like his best performance as he was able to convincingly defeat a contender over three rounds. Oezdemir is definitely a step-up in competition, but it's one Reyes will need to face if he's ready to scrap with the likes of Alexander Gustafsson and Jon Jones.
