It doesn’t get much more Brazilian than UFC Fight Night 51.
The card, which went down Saturday night in Brazil’s capital city of Brasilia, featured at least one Brazilian fighter in each of its 11 contests. And though none of the contests carried any title or even contender implications, well, it’s still Brazil, and that means exciting fights and the most engaged fanbase in mixed martial arts. A Brazil card is usually a fun card.
In the main event, Brasilia native and massive heavyweight Antonio Silva battled still-kicking veteran Andrei Arlovski. The two tangled once before, with Silva taking a decision from Arlovski in a 2010 bout back in Strikeforce.
The co-headliner featured another monstrous Brazilian in lightweight Gleison Tibau, who took on promising young buck Piotr Hallmann.
As always, the final stat lines only tell so much of the story. Want to know what really happened Saturday night? Pour up the caipirinhas and read on to see the real winners and losers from Fight Night 51.
