UFC Fight Night 51: Clash Of The Giants Preview

UFC Fight Night 51 is set to go down this Saturday (Sept. 13th, 2014) and is hosted by the Ginasio Nilson Nelson in Brasilia, Brazil. The six-fight main card is backed up by a sturdy looking five-fight prelims card, which will air live on the UFC digital network ‘Fight Pass’. At the top of the card is an interesting rematch between revived former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski, and the returning Antonio Silva.

“”Bigfoot” got popped for elevated testosterone levels in the wake of his thrilling draw against Mark Hunt in late 2013, and will be looking to make a statement against his old rival “Pitbull””. The co-main event for the evening is a lightweight clash between Gleison Tibau and hard working Polish star Piotr Hallmann. Leonardo Santos takes on the returning Efrain Escudero also at 155 pounds.

One fight I’m really keen to watch is the rematch between Johnny Bedford and Rani Yahya. The two first shared a heated 39-second affair at Fight Night 39, only to have the fight ruled a no-contest due to accidental headbutt. Paulo Thiago fights once more at welterweight against up-and-comer Sean Spencer, and there are plenty of other great fights to watch out for this Saturday.
