Dominick Reyes will be looking to keep his unbeaten run going on Friday night, and the big light heavyweight will have to do so against a former champion, as he takes on ex-middleweight titlist Chris Weidman in the main event of UFC Fight Night at TD Garden in Boston.
The fights are on ESPN2, with the main card starting at 9 p.m. ET and the prelims at 6 p.m.

Reyes is 11-0 and, coming off a split decision victory over onetime title challenger Volkan Oezdemir in March, is No. 7 in ESPN's 205-pound rankings. Weidman (14-4), who reigned for over two years with the 185-pound belt after dethroning Anderson Silva in 2013, has lost four of his past five fights and will be competing at light heavy for the first time.
The Boston show's co-main event is at featherweight, a rematch of sorts between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens, whose fight last month ended after just 15 seconds because Stephens could not continue following an accidental eye poke. Also on the card is the fourth UFC appearance by former NFL star Greg Hardy, who takes on heavyweight Ben Sosoli.
