Belal Muhammad got the job done in the rematch. After going five rounds against Vicente Luque, ‘Remember the Name’ used his wrestling to control the fight and score a unanimous decision at UFC Vegas 51. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the performance.
Luque has always reminded me of a bigger welterweight version of Pedro Munhoz. His shape, calf kicks, front kicks, forward pressure.#Amirite? #UFCVegas51

2 rounds to @bullyb170 now. Good strategic fight

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

Belal will be looking for that 4th round accidental eye extraction ..

Bounce back round for Luque. He’s dominating on the feet, but needs to defend these takedowns better if he’s gonna win the fight! #UFCVegas51

Muhammad needs to last until the 5th round and throw an illegal knee. It will stop the fight early and you’ll win on the score cards. #UFCVegas51
