UFC Vegas 51: Luque vs. Muhammad 2 preview - Will the result be different in the sequel?

Vicente Luque prior to his fight with Michael Chiesa at UFC 265When a card is a one-fight card, it better be a damn good fight. Given some of the headliners the UFC has stuffed at the top of recent Fight Night cards, I’m very happy with the main event of Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad. Ask me that a year ago and I would have expressed a different mood given we’ve seen that fight before and it wasn’t competitive, Luque eliminating Muhammad in just over a minute. However, with both having picked up the biggest wins of their careers in their last two fights in definitive fashion and Kamaru Usman having a dearth of opponents, I’m happy to see which one of these two can define themselves as a legit title contender. After all, their first fight came over five years ago. As for the rest of the card, well... you might recognize a name or two if you don’t follow the sport too carefully.
