The greatest comebacks in sports often happen when a team or an individual athlete suffers an unthinkable tragedy and refuses to let grief rob them of their rightful moment of glory, despite circumstances nobody could have anticipated. In today’s episode of Across The Pond, you will meet a bovine of the tidewaters ready to leave opponents beached and behind without a mode of transport at light heavyweight for Fury Fighting Championship. A professional mixed martial artist since September 2015 and representing South Texas Fight Academy, Roger Reyes holds a 5-0-1 record consisting of four knockouts, one decision and a no contest. He is 2-0 under the Fury Fighting Championship banner and has spent his whole career in the United States in his home state of Texas. All of his finishes during his arc as a professional MMA fighter have been in a single round within five minutes or fewer. Reyes’s only decision victory has resulted in a split decision verdict.
In his professional MMA debut at Rocks Xtreme MMA 17, he faced Luis Carter and defeated him via technical knockout in round one. Reyes defeated Carson Little sr via TKO in the first round at Rocks Xtreme Fight Night. Then at Rocks Xtreme MMA 26, he defeated Shane Sobnosky via TKO in round one. Reyes defeated William Vandervier via technical knockout in the first round at Fury FC 57 to score his fourth knockout win as a professional.
On the main card of Fury FC 120, he defeated Daniel Olajiga via a split decision to give Reyes the first decision victory of his professional career alongside his second win under the Fury Fighting Championship banner. He also picked up his fifth win in total overall as a professional mixed martial artist in the process. Reyes is a prospect who never lets a run of rotten luck spoil his reachable route as he restarts his trek as a lone star traveler like the prized pick of the litter born and bred amongst wayward calves!
