The complete UFC Fight Night 51 fight card will air later this evening (Sat., Sept. 13, 2014) entirely on UFC Fight Pass, featuring a five-round heavyweight main event that pits former EliteXC heavyweight champion Antonio Silva against ex-UFC 265-pound kingpin Andrei Arlovski. Those folks living outside the digital network's reach can watch the action unfold via UFC Network, and other select broadcast channels.
UFC Fight Night 51: "Bigfoot vs. Arlovski 2," which emanates from inside Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil, will also feature lightweight standouts Gleison Tibau and Piotr Hallman, who will collide in a match of 155-pound relevancy, while surprise winner of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 2: "Brazil," Leonardo Santos, welcomes Efrain Escudero back to the Octagon after a two-year hiatus.
That doesn't include two other compelling match ups on the UFC Fight Night 51 main card, which gets underway at 8 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass. Local favorite Iuri Alcantara tries to march back into 135-pound title territory against Hawaiian interloper Russell Doane, not long after Jessica Andrade collides with fellow Brazilian bantamweight prospect Larissa Moreira Pacheco.
But before we can get to the six featured fights, the promotion will unload a stacked five-fight preliminary card starting at 6 p.m. ET on UFC Fight Pass, which kicks off with the bantamweight rematch between Johnny Bedford and Rani Yahya. The UFC Fight Night 51 "Prelims" have their own special main event in the form of Dashon Johnson vs. Godofredo Pepey, a pair of lightweights battling to stay relevant in a stacked 155-pound division.
