It feels like a while since I’ve said this, but UFC Vegas 51 wasn’t a good card. I suppose it was a matter of time before we got a flat card. The main event between Belal Muhammad and Vicente Luque wasn’t bad, but it had high expectations that it didn’t quite reach them. Even more damning for the card was the multiple technical decisions that sucked the air out of the room. That doesn’t even count the other fights that were plagued by illegal infractions. Thus, while Muhammad’s win over Luque was both unexpected and impressive, there isn’t a lot of enthusiasm around the victory thanks to the malaise the rest of the card produced.
