Reis might best be known for his attempt to dethrone then-champ and current GOAT candidate Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson in April of 2017. All those years removed and Reis was competing as a featherweight, coming off a win over Bellator vet Toby Misech and posting a 1-4 record in his last five fights, all under the Cage Warriors banner.

As for Bruno Souza, the highly-touted former LFA featherweight champ met with disaster in a brief UFC run, going 0-2 in a two-fight stint with the company in 2021-22. Souza then jumped to Karate Combat where he traded wins and losses; Friday at Cage Warriors 173 marks his return to MMA.
