However, another high-stakes matchup is quietly stealing the international spotlight this weekend. Scheduled on the Prelim Fight Card is Colombian rising star Javier “Blair” Reyes is ready to make a massive impact. Reyes holds an impressive professional record of 22-5-0.

Earning the Ultimate UFC Contract
First, how did Javier Reyes arrive here? He recently competed on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2025. Specifically, he faced aggressive Texas fighter Justice Torres. Reyes delivered a spectacular performance during that bout. He defeated Torres by a stunning KO/TKO using punches and knees. He stopped the fight at just 2:32 of the first round. Consequently, this dominant victory secured his UFC contract. Now, he possesses the global stage to showcase his talent against the best fighters.
A Proven Track Record of Success
Undoubtedly, Reyes is a proven warrior who consistently sharpens his skills. Before joining the UFC, he stayed highly active across top regional promotions. For instance, he claimed the title at FFC 82 in Colombia. He also headlined events and won the Matchmaker 5 belt. Additionally, Combate Global broadcast his fierce six-fight winning streak. Therefore, with numerous finishes across LFA and Budo Sento Championship, his instincts remain incredibly sharp.

Because of this, dedicated MMA fans should closely watch this exciting Colombian athlete. Above all, he is truly prepared to conquer the legendary octagon this year.

Back in September 2025, I spoke with Reyes in an exclusive interview on “Noticias Fajador Episode 37.” This took place right before his Dana White’s Contender Series debut. He was actively preparing for the big fight that led him here. During that interview, I saw a sharp athlete. Furthermore, he is a Colombian role model who remains active in his community. Overall, it is very hard to choose a favorite athlete. Along with the 21 year old Mexican UFC Fighter Santiago “Border Boy” Luna, We have an amazing lineup for this event. Indeed, all the fighters come from amazing backgrounds and disciplines. Below is the full fight card for UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh.
