Rafael dos Anjos, Vicente Luque Agree to Headline UFC Fight Night Card on July 15

A welterweight showdown pitting Rafael dos Anjos against Vicente Luque will serve as the main event for UFC Fight Night on July 15.

MMAFighting.com was first to report that both fighters had verbally agreed to the contest. The event is expected to take place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and also includes a heavyweight bout between Walt Harris and Josh Parisian.

A former lightweight champion, dos Anjos owns a 5-4 UFC mark at 170 pounds. He returned to the welterweight division in his last outing, where he defeated Bryan Barberena via second-round submission at UFC on ESPN 42.

After winning 10 of 11 UFC bouts from 2017 to 2021, Luque will look to end a two-bout losing streak against dos Anjos. During his current skid, the Cerrado MMA representative dropped a five-round verdict to Belal Muhammad in the UFC on ESPN 34 headliner before suffering a third-round KO defeat at the hands of Geoff Neal at UFC on ESPN 40.
