UFC Vegas 51: Vicente Luque vs. Belal Muhammad live results and highlights
After their initial meeting in New York’s Madison Square Garden more than five years ago, Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad enter Las Vegas as more developed welterweight contenders as they do battle once again in the main event of UFC Vegas 51.
In the pair’s first fight at UFC 205, it was Luque who got the win, scoring a first-round knockout of Muhammad.
This time, however, the pair enter ranked No. 5 and 6 in the UFC’s welterweight contender rankings, and both have 10 wins in their last 12 fights. They’ll be looking to position themselves not far from a shot against champion Kamaru Usman.
Luque enters on a four-fight win streak, which includes stoppages of Niko Price and Randy Brown, as well as submissions of Tyron Woodley and Michael Chiesa. Muhammad comes in off back-to-back decision wins over Demian Maia and Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson.
