Dominick Reyes (born December 26, 1989) is an American mixed martial artist. He competes in the light heavyweight division and is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Reyes was born in Hesperia, California, California, United States. Reyes has always been an athlete where he had a wrestling background and played football when he was young, and dreamt to play in of the NFL teams one day. After graduating from high school, Reyes moved to New York to attend Stony Brook University and he earned a degree in Bachelor of Science, specializing in Information Systems. He works as a IT technical support for a high school and fights professionally under the UFC banner.
Reyes was the defensive back and captain of the Seawolves for Stony Brook University. He twice made the All-Conference team and was inspirited to play in NFL after he graduated from university. Reyes participated in the NFL Draft Combine where three of the NFL teams, Washington Redskins, San Diego Chargers and Oakland Raiders, expressed interested in him; however, he was not drafted at the end.
After not being drafted to an NFL team, he returned back to California and channeled his energy to focus on MMA training at Reyes's brother's gym, Combat Cage Academy, and started competing in an amateur MMA fight shortly after.
Reyes splits his typical training day into two sessions. He trains for four hours in the morning, focusing on the "skills" components of MMA whereby he works on his BJJ, Judo, Boxing, Muay Thai and Kick Boxing from 8am to 12pm. After taking a break in the afternoon, he would start the second half of his daily training with strength and conditioning training where he would do weight lifting and running. He said that being a college football athlete gave him the advantage of being able to easily adjust his MMA skills by attention to details.
Before signing with the UFC, Reyes amassed an amateur record of 5-0 and was twice the U of MMA champion during his amateur career.
