UFC Fight Night 51 is in the books.
Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Andrei Arlovski was set to fight in enemy territory against Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva who was a big favourite going into the fight. Arlovski was coming off a bad victory against Brendan Schaub so not many people were counting him in, predicting Bigfoot, mostly by knockout. Nothing is impossible in the world of MMA, and ‘Pit bull’ showed that tonight by knocking Silva out cold in the first round. Arlovski defined himself as a contender in the divison by taking out the #4 ranked heavyweight in the world.
