8 UFC Stars Set To Dominate 2020

5. Dominick Reyes

Since joining the UFC two-and-a-half years ago, Dominick Reyes has amassed a 6-0 record - with a 12-0 professional record, in total - and the sky looks like the limit for the #4 ranked light heavyweight.

While nine of those 12 wins were first round victories, most impressive was The Devastator KO'ing former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman in the first round of their UFC on ESPN contest this past October.

At 30 years of age, with a career that's so far managed to steer clear of injuries, and with a striking game that is one of the best in the division, Reyes has so much in his favour as he enters 2020. Of course, one slight bump on the horizon is a UFC 247 title shot against UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones this February.

To some, it seems like only a matter of time before somebody is finally able to put a stop to Jones' reign at the top, with Jonny Bones having dominated UFC for a decade already. If Dominick Reyes can be the one to put Jones away, then his career will be skyrocketed to a whole other level in 2020.
