It was one-way traffic in UFC Fight Night 199 ‘s co-main event. Belal Muhammad entered the UFC Apex with a chip on his shoulder, looking to make a statement in the welterweight division by defeating former title challenger Stephen Thompson. Muhammad (20-3 MMA, 11-3 UFC) exceeded expectations by dominating Thompson (16-6-1 MMA, 11-6-1 UFC), earning multiple 10-8 rounds from the judges. Thompson’s trademark kicks were on display early, which caused Muhammad to shoot for a takedown to slow things down. “Wonderboy” was able to defend the first attempt, but Muhammad’s second effort was better and brought the fight to the ground where the two would trade punches from one knee for a few moments
