Alex Reyes was told in 2018 he may never walk again. Fast forward over five years later, and see him walk straight to the UFC cage.
Willingly fighting in a cage against another trained combatant is already a semi-superhuman feat. For Reyes, however, the accomplishment extends beyond that, considering the depths from which he’s risen. The comeback is emotional, perhaps improbable, and very unusual.
A bit of a forgotten member of the UFC roster, Reyes is 13-3 as a professional with one UFC fight under his belt. The bout came in September 2017, up a weight class vs. Mike Perry on short notice. He hasn’t fought since, but not due to his own volition.
