Reyes was next scheduled to face Richie Vaculik at UFC Fight Night 43 on June 28, 2014. However, Reyes was forced from the bout with an injury and replaced by promotional newcomer Roldan Sangcha-an.[6]

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]
