The co-main event of the Fight Night in Las Vegas will see two promotional debuts. Undefeated fighter Gadzhi Omargadzhiev (13-0) will look to make his mark when he takes on Caio Borralho (10-1).

UFC Fight Night: Belal Muhammad looks to avenge his defeat to Vicente Luque

Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad will meet for the second time when they step under the bright lights in the main event of the Fight Night this Saturday.

The bout will present an opportunity for Muhammad to avenge his loss to Luque from six years ago. The pair first battled at UFC 205 in November 2016 where the Brazilian dispatched Muhammad with a first-round knockout.

However, this is an important bout for both fighters as the winner will likely be up for welterweight title contention. It is also interesting to note that these two are the only welterweights in the top 5 (along with Khamzat Chimaev), who are yet to duel with the division's champion Kamaru Usman.

'The Silent Assassin' has recorded 10 wins from his 12 total bouts since his first win over Muhammad. Luque will enter the upcoming main event bout on the back of four consecutive stoppage victories.

Meanwhile, Belal Muhammad has also won 10 of his 12 subsequent bouts since his loss to Luque. The American is currently riding a six-fight win streak in the promotion (one NC against Leon Edwards aside).
