After a busy event in Nashville, Tennessee, Ultimate returns to its headquarters for the UFC Las Vegas 78, this Saturday (12). This time, the most famous octagon in the world hosts, in the main fight of the event, Vincent Luque e Rafael dos Anjos in a Brazilian duel for welterweights (up to 77,1kg). In total, 13 fights are scheduled for the show.
Tenth place in the welterweight rankings, Vincent Luque returns to the Octagon one year after the traumatic defeat against Geoff neal and seeks to win again after two consecutive setbacks. On the other side, Rafael dos Anjos, is looking for his second consecutive victory in the under-77,1kg division.
In the co-main fight, Cub swanson returns to featherweight (up to 65,7kg) at the age of 39, after a lightning-fast and frustrating move to bantamweight (up to 61,2kg). The veteran's opponent will be the Canadian Hakeem dawodu, who is also looking to recover from a defeat in the octagon.
More Brazil on the card
The main card of UFC Las Vegas 78 also contemplates another Tupiniquim duel. In strawweight (up to 52,1kg), Polyana viana e Iasmin Lucindo face each other with the same objective: to achieve their second consecutive victory in Ultimate.
The preliminary card of the event also features two Brazilians. At strawweight, Jacqueline Amorim seeks to recover from the defeat suffered in its debut in the organization and faces the Mexican Montserrat Ruiz. In flyweight (up to 56,7kg), Luana Santos debut in Ultimate against The Ultimate Fighter champion Juliana Miller.
