Noche UFC returns for its fourth annual edition on Saturday, Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, timed ahead of Mexican Independence Day weekend, with the main card at 5 p.m. ET and prelims at 2 p.m. ET.
Jean Silva headlines against short-notice replacement Jose Miguel Delgado, a Mexican-American featherweight, in Silva's bid to rebound from the first loss of his career — a second-round TKO by Diego Lopes at last year's Noche UFC.
Alexa Grasso and Brandon Moreno, the only two Mexican undisputed champions in UFC history, compete in pivotal bouts on the main card despite Yair Rodriguez's unplanned absence.
Top 10 bantamweight David Martinez opens the main card aiming to set the tone for Mexico, while unbeaten featherweight prospects Tommy "Gun" McMillen and Marwan "Freaky" Rahiki face off in a clash where someone's undefeated record goes.
Paramount+ is the exclusive home of all 13 UFC numbered events and 30 Fight Nights annually under a seven-year deal running through 2033, with plans starting at $8.99/month.
Paramount+ eliminates traditional UFC pay-per-view fees — every numbered event and Fight Night is included with subscription at no additional cost, available in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Why it matters: The Paramount+ deal structurally changes UFC's economics for fans: the 13 annual numbered events that historically cost $79.99 each on pay-per-view are now bundled into a streaming subscription starting at $8.99/month, with Silva's featherweight title push and the only two Mexican undisputed champions sharing one card that fans can watch without a separate PPV purchase.
