Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-11-11, pretty good finish between Raphael Assuncao and Matthew Lopez but it is not enough to get three stars: it gets two (UFC Performance of the Night).The black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu Raphael Assuncao entered this fight with a professional mma record of 25-5-0 (52% finishing rate) and he is ranked as the No.9 bantamweight in the world. He lost to current #1 Ufc Bw champion TJ Dillashaw in 2016 (=Dillashaw vs Assuncao 2) but then he has defeated Aljamain Sterling (=Sterling vs Assuncao) and Marlon Moraes (=Moraes vs Assuncao).
