By The Numbers: UFC on ESPN 51 Pre-Fight Edition


Kill Cliff Fight Club’s Vicente Luque will return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship stage for the first time in more than a year when he takes on Rafael dos Anjos in the UFC on ESPN 51 headliner this Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, the venerable Cub Swanson tackles Hakeem Dawodu in the three-round featherweight co-main event at 145 pounds.

As UFC on ESPN 51 “Luque vs. Dos Anjos” approaches, a look at some of the numbers the fighters on the card bring to the table:
