UFC 51: Super Saturday was a significant mixed martial arts (MMA) event held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on February 5, 2005. It took place at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event was dubbed "Super Saturday" because it featured two championship bouts on the same night.
The main event of UFC 51 was a highly anticipated clash between two legends of the sport: Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture. Liddell was the UFC Light Heavyweight Champion at the time, and Couture was a former UFC Heavyweight Champion moving down to the light heavyweight division to challenge for the title. Their bout was a rematch from a previous encounter at UFC 43, where Couture had emerged victorious.
In a thrilling fight, Chuck Liddell avenged his earlier loss to Randy Couture by knocking him out in the first round with a series of devastating punches. This victory solidified Liddell's status as one of the most dominant fighters in the light heavyweight division and further fueled his rise to superstardom within the MMA world.
The co-main event of UFC 51 featured another championship bout, this time in the welterweight division. UFC Welterweight Champion, Matt Hughes defended his title against challenger Georges St-Pierre. In a highly competitive and back-and-forth contest, Matt Hughes managed to secure a submission victory via armbar in the opening round, successfully defending his title against St-Pierre.
