UFC Vegas 54 Live Results: When, Where, and Who?

UFC Vegas 54: Blachowicz vs. Rakic takes place on Saturday, May 14, at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The UFC Vegas 54 fight card is headlined by a light heavyweight contender bout, as the promotion looks to line up a challenger to the winner of the upcoming title bout between champion Glover Teixeira and Jiri Prochazka.

UFC Vegas 54 main event: Jan Blachowicz vs. Aleksandar Rakic

Blachowicz (28-9) is the former UFC light heavyweight champion. He is 9-2 in his past 11 bouts, including losing the belt to Teixeira at UFC 267 last October. In search of a return path to the belt, Blachowicz could put himself at the front of the queue with an impressive win over Rakic.

Currently ranked No. 3 in the 205-pound division, Rakic (14-2) has had one stumble in his quest for UFC gold. That being a questionable split-decision loss to Volkan Oezdemir more than two years ago. He has since bounced back win victories over top fighters Anthony Smith and Thiago Santos. A victory over the likes of Blachowicz would easily bump him into the top spot in regard to title contention.

UFC Vegas 54 co-main event: Ryan Spann vs. Ion Cutelaba

The UFC Vegas 54 co-main event features Ryan Spann (19-7) and Ion Cutelaba (16-6-1, 1NC). It’s another light heavyweight bout, but doesn’t carry near the weight of the main event. Spann, however, is trying to get back on the winning track following a loss to Anthony Smith, while Cutelaba is trying to build some momentum after securing his first win in two years this past September.

Outside of the UFC Vegas 54 main event and co-main event, other notable bouts on the fight card include two important women’s flyweight fights.
