This welterweight rematch will see top 5 fighters, Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad bring everything they’ve got to the Octagon. The pair first met in UFC 205 in 2016, where Luque took down Muhammad in a record knockout victory of just 79 seconds. Since then, both fighters have picked up plenty of straight wins and few losses between them. Who will take the glory of this rematch?
Luque enters the Octagon with four straight wins to his name, and the 2016 victory during his last match up with Muhammad. The #4 ranked fighter had recent wins over Michael Chiesa, Tyron Woodley, Randy Brown and Niko Price. Since entering the UFC, he’s lost only three times out of the 17 matches he has fought.
Can Luque do it again?
Opposing Luque is #4 contender fighter, Muhammad. He too holds on a streak of straight wins (his fight with Leon Edwards was declared a no contest), with six to date. Muhammad’s records has seen him defeat Stephen Thompson, Demian Maia, Dhiego Lima and Lyman Good, to name a few.
Will Muhammad take down Luque once and for all?
This fight will surely have it all, and will likely see the winner have a shot at the title belt.
Joining the fight will be Rafa Garcia and Jesse Ronson. The pair will go toe-to-toe in a lightweight bout. Meanwhile Melsik Baghdasaryan and TJ Laramie will throw hands in a featherweight bout.
