The UFC returns to its APEX facility in Las Vegas this weekend with a high-octane Fight Night card. UFC Vegas 51 will be headlined by a highly anticipated rematch between welterweight contenders Vicente Luque and Belal Muhammad. The event will take place on April 16, 2022.
Luque and Muhammad are ranked No.4 and No.5, respectively, in the welterweight division. The pair fought each other six years ago at UFC 205 where Luque emerged victorious via TKO in the very first round. This time around, both fighters have a lot more experience under their belts and there's a lot more at stake as well.

The winner of the fight will establish himself as a legitimate top contender in the 170lbs division and is likely to be just one win away from a much-coveted title shot. The co-main event of the Fight Night event features a middleweight scrap between Caio Borralho and Gadzhi Omargadzhiev.
