LAS VEGAS – Ryan Gandra met the media Saturday after his win over Zach Reese at UFC 329.
Gandra (10-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) picked up his second first-round win in the UFC when he took out Reese (10-4 MMA, 4-4 UFC) on the prelims at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Brazilian needed just 75 seconds for the win.

Afterward, he said he’d love to fight former middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who recently announced he’ll move away from his longtime training home at City Kickboxing for a fresh start after losses in five of his last six fights, and four straight.
“I’m not one to pick fights or choose opponents. It’s beyond my wildest dreams to actually be a part of this and to be here. I’m happy to have the opportunities. But you talk about a dream fight, I’ve always had the dream of fighting Adesanya,” Gandra said at his post-fight news conference. “(He’s) someone I’ve dreamed of fighting my entire life, and I’ve wanted to have the opportunity to fight him. The dream is kept alive. That would be my dream fight.”
