Dominick Reyes could be feeling the effects of his loss to Jiri Prochazka even more in the months to come.
In the light heavyweight main event of UFC Vegas 25 on Saturday, Reyes came out on the wrong end of a brutal striking battle that ended with him being knocked out by a spinning back elbow from Prochazka in round two.
According to the list of medical suspensions acquired by mixedmartialarts.com, the fight left Reyes with multiple facial injuries that could see him out of action until the end of October. Reyes requires clearance from an eye, nose, and throat doctor or an oral and maxillofacial doctor after an initial assessment of nasal bone fractures, a right displaced orbital medial wall fracture, and a left displaced orbital zygomatic arch fracture.
