Your support makes all the difference.Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad will clash for the second time when they headline tonight’s UFC Fight Night.
Six years ago, Luque (21-7-1) knocked out Muhammad (20-3, 1 No Contest) within 90 seconds, though both men are much improved fighters now.
Luque went on to win 10 of his 12 subsequent bouts, and the Brazilian enters this rematch with four wins and four stoppages in a row. Meanwhile, American Muhammad has won his last six – a No Contest against Leon Edwards aside – with decision victories in his last four outings.
The 33-year-old, ranked sixth at welterweight, will look to leapfrog No 5 Luque here and avenge his defeat by the Brazilian.
