The UFC star, Dominick Reyes, did a quick job of Nikita Krylov on Saturday night in a semi -stated weight fight at UFC 314 and paid tribute to President Donald Trump.
With approximately 2:39 remaining in the first round, Krylov leaned forward towards Jab Reyes. He leaned too much and caught. Reyes hit him with a left and Krylov folded. He got Krylov on the ground with hammer fists twice before the referee appeared and stopped the fight.

Reyes then ran to Trump, who was sitting with Dana White, Elon Musk and others near the cage, told the president and leaned.
It was the third consecutive victory of kings. He knocked out Dustin Jacoby last June and then Anthony Smith in December. Before that, I was on a loser streak of four fights with losses against Jon Jones, Jan Blachowicz, Jiri Prochazka and Ryan Spann. The emotions were high after the fight.
“He sucked,” said a weeping kings of his loss streak, “but my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, my faith in me and my family, kept me on the ground, kept me here. I’m still fighting here. Anything that advances in your life, guys, just fight.

Trump comes to UFC 314 to the roar crowd singing “United States!”
Reyes said at his press conference after the fight that it was a “real dream fight.”
“I have to represent the United States against my president,” said Reyes, through MMA Junkie. “I was supporting me and then he told me how proud me that he is that I am representing the country. As I was a small child, I always wanted to meet the president. It has always been something he wanted, and finally I could do it as a athlete, and spend as another night that I will remember for the rest of my life.”
The president received a strident ovation when he entered the Kaseya Center.

“Something legendary,” Trump said about the roar of the crowd. “He was legendary. It is a great honor to have that kind of ovation, really because he says we are doing a good job. If we were not doing a good job, we would get the opposite.”
