Dominick Reyes stated that a victory over Johnny Walker could position him as the next contender for a light heavyweight title fight. Reyes believes that an impressive performance against Walker would make him a logical choice to face whoever holds the belt after UFC 327. The former title challenger suggested that immediate rematches at light heavyweight do not make sense at this point. Reyes is looking to rebuild his status in the division after previous setbacks. A striking finish over Walker could provide the momentum Reyes needs to re-enter championship conversations.
