Opponent: Dominick Reyes (12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC)
Division: Light heavyweight
Key wins: Kennedy Nzechukwu, Da Un Jung, Michael Oleksiejczuk
Misc.: After an 8-0-1 MMA run over several years in his return to the sport, things have soured a bit for Jacoby, who has dropped three of his past four – all by decision. In between, though, was a bonus-winning KO of Kennedy Nzechukwu to remind 205ers he still has heat.

Record: 12-4 MMA, 6-4 UFC
Opponent: Dustin Jacoby (19-8-1 MMA, 7-5-1 UFC)

He lost a close decision –some think he won the fight –then has three knockout losses after that. He had a pair of fights with Carlos Ulberg scrapped earlier this year.
