This yr’s Noche UFC could have received a big downgrade but it surely could still be in store for some huge fights.
The event was initially scheduled to be UFC 320 at Arena Guadalajara until issues with the venue led to the cardboard, which is able to happen on the identical day as Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford, going through some changes.
San Antonio, Texas will now host Noche UFC on September 13 where Diego Lopes will face Jean Silva in a featherweight most important event.
After all, you may expect a few of the promotion’s top stars to feature on this card, and in some way, Brandon Moreno has not fought at a Noche UFC event yet.
Moreno campaigned for a title shot but with this looking unlikely, he received a proposal from a former opponent as an alternative.

While he’s coming off of two impressive wins over Amir Albazi and Steve Erceg, Brandon Moreno might need another to earn himself one other shot on the flyweight title.
His previous losses to current champion Alexandre Pantoja put the Mexican star in a difficult position, especially when there are other viable challengers around.
A 3-fight win streak over a few of the top names within the division can be one step closer to creating him undeniable, and with Noche UFC approaching, Moreno should fight before the top of the yr.
He was recently respectfully called out by his former opponent, Brandon Royval, who lost a fight of the yr title eliminator to Joshua Van at UFC 317.
Royval posted on social media to register his interest in closing out their trilogy now that each men hold a win over one another.
Moreno, who was beaten by Royval in February of 2024 before he took some break day, appeared to see eye-to-eye together with his former foe based on his response.

On July 8 of 2023, Brandon Moreno looked to finally record a win over Alexandre Pantoja once they met within the co-main event of UFC 290.
A unbelievable flyweight title fight ended with Pantoja getting his hand raised as he once more proved himself to be Moreno’s kryptonite.
‘The Assassin Baby’ returned the next February, but after a split decision loss to Brandon Royval, he decided it was time to step away for a bit bit.
Since getting back from his transient hiatus, Moreno has looked back to his best which makes a trilogy bout with Royval way more interesting.
