The LIVE video stream gets underway promptly at 2 p.m. ET featuring the following fighters:
Belal Muhammad – No. 5 ranked UFC welterweight Gabriel Bonfim – No. 11 ranked UFC welterweight Brendan
Allen – No. 4 ranked UFC middleweight Edmen Shahbazyan – No. 7 ranked UFC middleweight Fares Ziam – No. 14 ranked UFC lightweight Tom Nolan – UFC lightweight Bryce Mitchell – UFC bantamweight Santiago Luna – UFC bantamweight Iwo Baraniewski – UFC light heavyweight Junior Tafa – UFC light heavyweight Matt Schnell – UFC flyweight Alessandro Costa – UFC flyweight
“I’ve been in there with the best of the best,” Muhammad told MMA Fighting. “I’ve been in there with all of these guys and stylistically I’ve seen his style before. [Bonfim has] never really been in there with anybody like me. Stylistically he’s never seen anybody fight like me. Yeah, I think for himself it’s going to be one of those ‘oh okay, that’s the level, that’s the next level, that’s what it’s supposed to be.’ But my mindset right now is just reminding the world, reminding myself and I still think I’m the best fighter in the welterweight division, but I’ve just got to go out there and prove it.”
