UFC on ESPN 51 pre-event facts: Cub Swanson hits landmark record in featherweight return
The octagon returns to the confines of the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday for the first time in nearly one month with UFC on ESPN 51, which airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+.
Brazilian welterweight veterans collide in a five-round main event. Vicente Luque (21-9-1 MMA, 14-5 UFC) returns to action from a nearly yearlong layoff and the hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid when he meets former lightweight titleholder and MMA legend Rafael dos Anjos (33-14 MMA, 21-12 UFC).
