Nikita Krylov says UFC 314 will remind everyone he’s a contender after two-year layoff

MIAMI – Nikita Krylov had no intentions of taking over two years off.

Krylov (29-9 MMA, 11-7 UFC) returns against former light heavyweight title challenger Dominick Reyes (14-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 314 main card opener from Kaseya Center (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+).

Krylov hasn’t competed since submitting Ryan Spann in the first round in March 2023. He was scheduled to face Azamat Murzakanov this past Novemeber at UFC 309, but the fight was scrapped when Murzakanov withdrew.
