The Octagon is back inside the UFC Apex in Las Vegas this weekend for another fight card as UFC On ESPN 51: Luque vs. Dos Anjos goes down inside of the UFC's home base.
The card is headlined by a welterweight showdown as Vicente Luque takes on former UFC Lightweight Champion Rafael Dos Anjos. Luque is fighting for the first time in a year as he looks to end a two-fight losing skid, having lost to Belal Muhammad and Geoff Neal. Dos Anjos is making another run in the welterweight division as he looks for his second straight win following a submission of Bryan Barberena in December.
In the co-main event, it's an exciting featherweight match-up as longtime veteran Cub Swanson takes on Hakeem Dawodu. Also on the main card is a light heavyweight battle between Khalil Rountree and Chris Daukaus, a women's strawweight fight pitting Polyana Viana against Iasmin Lucindo, and a pair of middleweight bouts as AJ Dobson fights Tafon Nchukwi, and Josh Fremd takes on Jamie Pickett.
