Noche UFC is the mixed martial arts company's night of fights that pays homage to Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) and features former champions, rising prospects and fan favorites of Mexican and Latino descent. It's been held in Las Vegas in years past.
Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno, who, at UFC 263 on June 21, 2021, defeated then-champion Deiveson Figueiredo by submission at Desert Diamond Arena to become the first Mexican-born UFC champion in the organization’s history, is scheduled to fight in this year's Noche UFC.
With high demand expected for the event, fans are advised to register their interest early at ufc.com/nocheufc to secure tickets in advance.
Tickets for Noche UFC will go on sale Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. MST (1 p.m. Eastern) and are available at ticketmaster.com. Ticket sales are limited to eight per person.
Noche UFC will be the first of seven high-profile live events in Arizona over the next three years through TKO’s partnership with the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance. TKO is UFC's parent company.
