Light heavyweights Dominick Reyes and Nikita Krylov are expected to meet in a pivotal matchup at 205 pounds at the upcoming UFC 314 card scheduled on April 12. While the UFC hasn’t announced a location, Miami is the front-runner for the card.
Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed the news to MMA Fighting on Friday with agreements in place from both athletes.
A multi-time title challenger in the past, Reyes suffered through a tough stretch in his career with four straight losses including a razor-close defeat to Jon Jones, but he’s since bounced back with a pair of impressive performances. Reyes took out Dustin Jacoby this past June before delivering a vicious knockout of Anthony Smith at UFC 310.
Now Reyes looks to keep his streak alive when he returns in April against a well-known finisher in Krylov. The 32-year-old Russian has been a mainstay in the UFC rankings for quite some time, especially after rattling off three straight wins in his most recent performances.
During that streak, Krylov—currently No. 9 at light heavyweight in the MMA Fighting Global Rankings—took out Ryan Spann, Volkan Oezdemir and Alexander Gustafsson, but his return in April marks his first fight in over a year. Krylov looks to jump start 2025 with his fight against Reyes at UFC 314.
The upcoming pay-per-view card in April has not booked a main event yet but it’s expected that the UFC makes that move in the near future with more fights being announced for the show.
