After four weeks away from the Apex, the UFC will return to its facility in Las Vegas, Nevada for the upcoming fight card, UFC Fight Night: Luque vs. dos Anjos. The action will go down this Saturday, August 12, with a bunch of exciting scraps to look forward to.
Headlining the UFC Fight Night card will be a welterweight showdown between the No.10-ranked Vicente Luque and fellow Brazilian Rafael dos Anjos.
Vicente Luque will enter the bout hoping to end a two-fight skid after dropping a unanimous decision to Belal Muhammad followed by a knockout loss to Geoff Neal in August 2022. Prior to the Muhammad loss, 'The Silent Assassin' had won four consecutive bouts.
