Noche UFC Results

Viva Mexico! Noche UFC goes down tonight from the T-Mobile Arena with a lineup stacked with Mexican talent to celebrate Mexican Independence Day.

In the Noche UFC main event, Alexa Grasso sets out to prove that her victory over Valentina Schevchenko was no fluke. Grasso submitted Shevchenko with a rear-naked choke in a major upset at UFC 285 last March, giving Mexico its first female UFC champion. “Bullet” Valentina looks to right the wrongs from that fight and re-stake her claim as the greatest women’s flyweight in MMA history.

The co-main event doesn’t feature Mexican fighters, but it does promise to be an absolute barnburner. Surging welterweight Jack Della Maddalena looks to continue his unbeaten streak in the UFC as he faces fan-favorite Kevin Holland. Noche UFC also features Raul Rosas Jr., the youngest fighter on the UFC roster, taking on Terence Mitchell in a bantamweight bout.
