Luque has always reminded me of a bigger welterweight version of Pedro Munhoz. His shape, calf kicks, front kicks, forward pressure.#Amirite? #UFCVegas51

Belal is 2-for-2 on his takedowns due to great timing, but Luque needs more resistance than that. Muhammed has won the first two rounds #UFCVegas51
