Dominick Reyes hopes to be cleared to fight soon after receiving promising news regarding his health

Dominick Reyes will look to get his profession again on monitor after receiving some promising information about his well being that may hopefully result in clearance to compete once more.

The 2-time UFC title challenger posted a video on Instagram revealing that he was coping with deep vein thrombosis — a situation the place a blood clot is positioned deep in a vein someplace within the physique, normally within the legs that may trigger a myriad of well being points — and that’s what prevented him from combating as lately as January when he as booked for a matchup in opposition to Carlos Ulberg.

“Hey everybody, I simply received out of my appointment at Victor Valley Imaging and I received a clear invoice of well being,” Reyes mentioned within the video. “No proof of deep vein thrombosis anymore.

“I’m fairly excited. I simply received to complete off these subsequent few days of blood thinners and I’m good to go, 100%. Thanks, all people, for the type phrases, the love, and reaching out and the whole lot. Time to get again at it, child. I’m able to go.”

At his peak, Reyes was a prime contender within the mild heavyweight division after he took former champion Jon Jones to a razor-close resolution again in 2020. Sadly, Reyes struggled to seek out that very same degree of success afterwards when he suffered a knockout loss to Jan Blachowicz in his second try at turning into UFC champion.

Reyes then fell to future champion Jiri Prochazka in a barnburner again in 2021 earlier than struggling a fourth straight loss in a row when he was knocked out by Ryan Spann.

After greater than a 12 months off, Reyes booked his return in January for the battle with Ulberg at UFC 297 however an damage prevented the matchup from taking place. Reyes was then anticipated to conflict with Ulberg in March however this newest well being situation prevented him from competing.

Reyes didn’t say how quickly he hoped to battle once more, but when he obtained a clear invoice of well being from the deep vein thrombosis, it’s seemingly he’ll be capable of compete someday in 2024.
