UFC Fight Night: Luque vs Muhammad highlights

Vicente Luque shared the UFC octagon with Belal Muhammad for the second time on April 16. Muhammad used his grappling skills to land multiple takedowns on 'The Silent Assassin' and cruised to a unanimous decision victory.

In the co-main event, Caio Borralho and Gadzhi Omargadzhiev faced off in a middleweight contest. Borralho got the better of his opponent in the first two rounds. However, things took an unfortunate turn in the third round as the Brazilian landed an illegal knee on Omargadzhiev.

The fight was halted and Borralho lost a point due to the illegal blow. Due to Omargadzhiev's inability to compete, the fight was called off. However, since the illegal strike was deemed an "accidental foul" by referee Dan Miragliotta, it was left to the judges to deliver a technical decision. All three judges scored the bout 29-27 in favor of Borralho.
