Muhammad (24-5 1NC, fighting out of Chicago, Ill.) returns to action looking to build momentum for another shot at UFC gold. A well-rounded competitor, Muhammad rose through the welterweight ranks with wins over Sean Brady and Gilbert Burns before defeating then-champion Leon Edwards. He now looks to take out Bonfim in dominant fashion.
Surging Bonfim (19-1, fighting out of Brasilia, Brazil) aims to deliver another impressive UFC main event showing. A signee from season six of Dana White’s Contender Series, he holds recent wins over Randy Brown, Stephen Thompson and Khaos Williams. Bonfim now intends to break into the Top 5 by defeating the former champion.
Perennial contender Allen (26-7, fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.) steps back into the Octagon chasing another highlight finish. Currently tied for third-most submissions in UFC middleweight history with six, Allen has shown off his skills in performances over Paul Craig, Bruno Silva and Andre Muniz. He now has his sights set on adding Shahbazyan to his resume and turning his attention towards the top of the division.
Shahbazyan (16-5, fighting out of Las Vegas, Nev.) seeks to extend his current three-fight win streak and secure the biggest win of his career. A high-paced finisher, he has ended 13 of his 16 wins by knockout including those over Andre Muniz, Dylan Budka and AJ Dobson. Shahbazyan now looks to make it four wins in a row with a statement performance.
