UFC Vegas 70 was shaping up to be an exciting fight card until the main card started. Once the main card started, Megan Olivi announced that the main event fight between Nikita Krylov and Ryan Spann was off due to Krylov coming down with a foodborne illness. It was very unfortunate because both fighters were looking to take the next step in their career with a win over this weekend.

With those two out of the picture, the co-main event between Andre Muniz and Brendan Allen stepped into the main event spot and the fight delivered. Allen and Muniz were back and forth throughout the majority of the fight until Allen took over late sinking in the rear-naked choke to get the third-round finish.
