A clash between two top-10 welterweights will headline tonight’s UFC Fight Night, as Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad go head-to-head for the second time.

Luque (21-7-1) knocked out Muhammad (20-3, 1 No Contest) within 90 seconds when they fought one another in 2016, and the Brazilian has gone on to win 10 of his 12 subsequent bouts.

Ranked fifth at 170lbs, Luque carries a four-fight win streak into this Saturday’s main event, with finishes in each of those victories. No 6 welterweight Muhammad, meanwhile, has won six in a row – a No Contest against Leon Edwards aside – with his last four wins coming via decision.

The American, 33, will be keen to leapfrog Luque in the rankings while avenging his loss to the 30-year-old.

Here’s all you need to know.
