The UFC is back at the Apex with another Fight Night event tonight. UFC Vegas 51 might not be as stacked as last weekends big pay-per-view event, but the card still features some ranked contenders and exciting prospects worth watching.

Most Swedish fans will tune in early as bantamweights Lina Lansberg and Pannie Kianzad collides in a battle of Swedes on the preliminary card. Lansberg is ranked at No. 11 in the division with Kianzad right below her at No. 12, and this will be just the third time in UFC history that two Swedish fighters square off inside the octagon.

Adding to the intrigue is the fact that the Swedes have fought previously, with Kianzad picking up the win by TKO almost ten years ago. Now, Lansberg looks to avenge that loss as she returns to the cage for the first time in over two years after giving birth to her daughter.

UFC Vegas 51 is headlined by a welterweight rematch between top-ranked contenders as No. 5 ranked Vicente Luque takes on No. 6 ranked Belal Muhammad. Both are riding on impressive win-streaks hoping to get to that next level, and Muhammad is also looking for revenge after getting knocked out in their first bout back in 2016.
