UFC Fight Night 51 may not boast a lot of high-profile fights—no titles are on the line, and there are few Top 10 fighters on the card—but that doesn’t mean the action has to suffer on Saturday night.
Look to UFC 177 from just two weeks ago for proof. Restructuring led to a fairly underwhelming card and a pretty uneven main event between Joe Soto and champ T.J. Dillashaw, but the fights were tremendous, and it turned into a thoroughly entertaining night.
With Brazil, where the atmosphere is always electric, serving as the backdrop, and an intriguing rematch between heavyweights Antonio Silva and Andrei Arlovski in the main event, there’s no reason UFC Fight Night 51 can’t at least provide some excitement.
Let’s take a look at the results as they play out from Brasilia.
