Carlos Leal

ANALYSIS
Leal will be aiming to redeem himself in February after losing his most recent fight against Muslim Salikhov in just 42 seconds. Leal will have to overcome a few hurdles to do so, however, as he'll be giving up six inches of reach to Njokuani, who has won three of his last four bouts.

ANALYSIS
Leal linked up with the UFC last October and had looked good in his first two fights with the company. As a result, he was a -500 favorite here against Salikhov and was promptly finished in just seconds. Leal had never been knocked out in his professional career entering the evening, but all it took was one huge right hand from Salikhov to close the show. A former PFL standout, Leal is going to have a difficult time overcoming this result moving forward.

ANALYSIS
Leal will head into the fight looking to build positive momentum off his recent victory over Alex Moreno in March. The 5-foot-11 Brazilian will look to use a slight reach advantage to take out the older Russian fighter. With a prefect 11-0 record in KO/TKO finishes, Leal will undoubtedly be looking to end this one early, though he will have to remain wary of Salikhov's ample power as well (13-2 KO/TKO professional record).

ANALYSIS
Many were shocked that Leal entered as a massive -750 favorite, largest on the entire card, but it proved to be nowhere near a high enough number. Leal simply pushed forward throughout the bout, winging bombs, and Morono had zero answers. The fact the fight lasted four-plus minutes is a testament to Morono's toughness. Leal has looked strong through two UFC appearances, but he's already 30 years old and had mixed results during an extended PFL run. His long-term ceiling remains an open question.

ANALYSIS
Leal's UFC debut ended in a controversial loss to Rinat Fakhretdinov in October, but he'll have another shot to earn his first win against Morono, who has dropped three of his last four bouts.
