Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos With no pesky counter-programming from rival promoters, the UFC can now go back to running UFC Fight Night cards of moderate importance for casual fans. Hardcores can watch, too, and they don’t have to worry if UFC President Dana White will question your loyalty if they don’t. Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 51 headliner between heavyweights Antonio Silva and Andrei Arlovski is the rematch no one asked for, but it keeps the promotion’s motor running in Brazil and pads traffic for UFC Fight Pass, hopefully without those pesky satellite interruptions to bog down the action. And hey, it could be another barnburner on the order of Silva’s most recent octagon appearance, a draw with Mark Hunt that was an instant classic before the Brazilian’s extra shot of testosterone wiped it from the record books. Silva is back after a nine-month layoff courtesy of a UFC suspension, and he takes the role reserved for so many headliners in Brazil: the favorite there to do his country proud.
