Vicente Luque vs Geoff Neal – Welterweight Division

After winning four in a row, including a submission win over former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, Vicente Luque had his winning streak snapped in his most recent bout this past April.

Luque, who had six post-fight bonuses in his last eight fights, lost his rematch against Belal Muhammad via unanimous decision.

Opposite of Luque, Geoff Neal recently snapped a two-fight losing streak with his split-decision win over Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 269 last December.

Both men stand at equal height, with Luque having the slightest half-inch reach advantage and boasting a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu compared to Neal’s blue belt.

Zac Pauga vs Mohammed Usman – Heavyweight Division

The first of two TUF finale fights on the main card, Zac Pauga and Mohammad Usman will fight for a UFC heavyweight contract.

Pauga has remained undefeated thus far in his short MMA career, winning five straight. His last bout before competing on the show took place last October where he defeated Markus Perez via unanimous decision at Cage Warriors 130.

Usman is the brother of welterweight champion and pound-for-pound great Kamaru Usman.

Mohammed was undefeated during the TUF tournament but lost his last fight before participating on the show. He was submitted by Brandon Sayles in the second round last May.

Brogan Walker vs Juliana Miller – Women’s Flyweight Division

The second TUF final will see two female flyweights do battle.

The more experienced Brogan Walker had suffered two straight losses before defeating Emilee King by submission at Invicta FC 44 last August.

Julian Miller has only three pro fights under her belt. Her last MMA fight before joining the show took place last May – where she lost via unanimous decision under the Invicta banner.

Miller will stand two inches taller but both women will share an equal reach of 67-inches.

Augusto Sakai vs Sergey Spivak – Heavyweight Division

Having won his first four UFC fights in a row, Augusto Sakai now finds himself amidst a three-fight losing streak – with all three losses coming via KO or TKO.

He last fought Tai Tuivasa at UFC 269 last December, losing the bout via second-round knockout.

Sergey Spivak is 1-1 over his last two fights. He most recently defeated Greg Hardy this past March at UFC 272 via first-round TKO.

Sakai will stand one inch taller but Spivak will have a one-inch reach advantage.

Ariane Lipski vs Priscila Cachoeira – Women’s Flyweight Division

Kicking off the main card will show Ariane Lipski taking on Priscila Cachoeira in the women’s flyweight division – both of whom hold purple belts in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.

Lipski recently snapped a two-fight losing skid with her unanimous decision win over Mandy Bohm last September.

Cachoeira most recently fought Ji Yeon Kim this past February. In what was deemed the fight of the night, Cachoeira came out victorious – defeating Kim via unanimous decision.

Lipski, listed as the -175 favorite, will have a two-inch reach advantage.
