R1 – Belal vs. Wonderboy – Wonderboy already using the side kick to keep Belal away. Belal trying front kicks to open space for shots, Wonderboy goes high with the side kick to the head. Belal shoots, but nope. Here comes Wonderboy!!! Kick to the head! #UFCVegas45

Love to see what Muhammad and Thompson are doing here in terms of earning points based on the scoring criteria. Both attempting damage, despite the change in position.

Kind of sad watching Wonderboy's decline in real time. Belal Muhammad is doing a great job but was almost impossible to get some of these positions on Thompson a few years ago. #UFCVegas45

Wonderboy gave up 5 total takedowns in his last 15 fights combined.
Belal Muhammad has scored 5 takedowns in just a round and a half. #UFCVegas45
