Reyes then dropped down to the Flyweight division and faced Kyoji Horiguchi at UFC Fight Night 52 on September 20, 2014.[7] Reyes was defeated via first-round TKO.[8]

Reyes faced Roldan Sangcha-an on May 16, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 66.[9] He won the fight by submission in the second round. The win also earned Reyes his first Fight of the Night bonus award.[10]
