Vicente Luque and Randy Brown face off in a lightweight showdown at UFC Fight NIght 173 at the UFC Apex, in Las Vegas Nevada. Both of these fighters are currently unranked. 

Bobby “King” Green comes into this fight with a 25-10-1 record overall but there has been some real struggles as of late losing six of his last eight fights. One of those wins for Green, did come in his last fight by Clay Guida. In that fight, Green was taken down three times but he outstruck Guida 85-23 and that led to a unanimous decision victory. Each of Green’s last four losses have come by decision, so if there is any consolation at least he’s not getting knocked out.
