We thought it would never happen!

As fights came thick and fast for UFC Dublin, the SBG fighters were all matched up and we were left waiting for confirmation of bouts for the Team Ryano pair Neil Seery and Paul Redmond.

Well the former has finally been sorted out with an opponent for October 24th with news coming this morning that 2 Tap will take on Guamanian flyweight Jon Delos Reyes next month.

Delos Reyes is coming off his first UFC victory after rebounding from an 0-2 start with the promotion to finish Roldan Sangcha-an via rear naked choke at UFC Fight Night 66 in May.

The 28-year-old is a submission specialist and has only gone the distance once in his 12-fight career but faces his biggest challenge yet when he meets fan favourite veteran Seery.

Seery’s last outing was a decision loss to Louis Smolka at UFC 189 and the Dubliner will be looking to get back into the win column in front of his hometown fans when the Octagon returns to the 3Arena.

Just waiting on a fight for Paul Redmond now…
