On the other hand, the Brazilian Vincent Luque extended his streak to four straight victories and received the 'Fight of the Night' award for his fight against former welterweight champion, Tyron woodley. The duel started off fiercely, with both fighters looking to finish as quickly as possible. Still in the first round, the Brazilian stood out and submitted the North American.
In addition to Franco-Cameroonian, Sean O'Malley will also leave with a 'full pocket' after the triumph against the Brazilian Thomas almeida. Considered one of the biggest promises of roosters (up to 61,2kg), the Sugar knocked out in the third round and recovered from the defeat he suffered against Marlon Vera, UFC 252.
