Summary
Brendan Allen took the co-main event with a unanimous decision over Edmen Shahbazyan, winning 30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 at UFC Vegas 118 in Las Vegas.
That result landed before the welterweight main event, where former champion Belal Muhammad entered against Gabriel Bonfim trying to halt a two-fight skid while Bonfim carried a four-fight winning streak.
Bryce Mitchell added a main-card submission, finishing Santiago Luna with an arm-triangle choke at 4:52 of Round 3, while Iwo Baraniewski stopped Junior Tafa by first-round TKO.
The prelims produced several early finishes, including Alessandro Costa's first-round TKO of Matt Schnell, Edgar Chairez's rear-naked choke of Bruno Silva and Ketlen Souza's head-kick KO of Ariane Carnelossi.
