Another fight scheduled
Reyes is scheduled to fight Alex Reyes in a lightweight bout at Noche UFC in Paradise on Sept. 16, according to Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Because of a rare spinal infection and multiple withdrawals before and after his diagnosis, Reyes has not fought since 2017. The string of bad luck could come to an end at Noche UFC though. Reyes could log his first fight since 2017 and compete against a lightweight also trying to compete in 2023 after a bout cancellation of his own.

He will now square off against Peek, who will be making his debut with the company after defeating Malik Lewis via TKO (punches) in Round 2 of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender series.

Details spinal condition
Reyes revealed to Nolan King of MMAJunkie.com that he has been diagnosed with a rare spinal infection called osteomyelitis that was caught from a tainted stem cell injection treatment.
ANALYSIS
Reyes, the older brother of former UFC bantamweight Dominick Reyes, made a short-notice UFC debut in September of 2017 and hasn't fought with the company since. He was scheduled to compete in London in March of 2018, but withdrew from the fight for a reason undisclosed at the time and has been largely silent about his absence since. He eventually revealed to King the condition he was diagnosed with and the resulting complications, and while this is an infection that will remain dormant in his body forever, the older Reyes is adamant he will eventually return to the UFC.
