The read
This is a get-well fight for both men in different ways — Luna looking to answer his first loss, Topuria looking to prove the long break didn't cost him anything.
A close, hard-to-call fight between two prospects still establishing themselves.
The matchup
Luna's first career loss arrives at an awkward time, right as Topuria returns from a long layoff looking to build on an unbeaten UFC start.
Both men are finishers on paper, but neither has faced this level of a live, motivated opponent inside the octagon before.
