The UFC returns to its home base of the UFC Apex in Las Vegas on Saturday following three weeks on the road with UFC on ESPN 51 , which saw nine of 13 fights end inside the distance. The main event was one of few that needed the judges. Vicente Luque (22-9-1 MMA, 15-5 UFC) managed to outwork former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos (33-15 MMA, 21-13 UFC) to a unanimous decision in the welterweight bout and used a lot of grappling to get it done.
