On the same night that Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford go head-to-head in Las Vegas, Noche UFC presents an unmissable fight night in celebration of Mexican Independence Day.
The last Noche event took place at the Sphere for UFC 306, where Merab Dvalishvili became the new Bantamweight Champion.
The headliner for this fight card is very exciting as Diego Lopes battles Jean Silva in what could be a Featherweight title eliminator.
However, there are five other competitors you should keep your eyes on when they step in the Octagon.
David Martinez
We start with the fighter that replaced Raul Rosas Jr to face #9 Bantamweight contender, Rob Font, in the co-main event.
Martinez made his debut at the end of March, scoring a first-round TKO win against Saimon Oliveira at UFC Mexico City.
The former Combat Global 135-pound Champion has only lost one fight in his career, while earning 12 victories with 10 of those ending by KO/TKO.
‘Black Spartan’ has a rare opportunity to enter the rankings in just his second UFC appearance as he hopes to take out a veteran of the company.
Alexander Hernandez
An American Lightweight who is on the rise and takes on UFC veteran, Diego Ferreira, less than a month after his previous bout.
Hernandez shocked a few fans, to say the least, when he knocked out heavily eyed prospect Chase Hooper at UFC 319.
‘The Great Ape’ has been in the UFC for quite some time, defeating the likes of Beneil Dariush and Jim Miller.
The 32-year-old fights for a third time this year and will aim to extend his winning streak to four.
Santiago Luna
A Mexican who is about to live his dream, making his UFC debut in the first fight of the main card against Quang Le.
Luna arrived at the most prominent MMA organisation after an impressive first-round knockout win from Tuff-N-Uff 144.
‘Border Boy’ has a 100% finish rate with six wins, four ending by submission and two by KO/TKO.
The undefeated fighter hopes to shine for his country’s Independence Day and make a great first impression on the UFC.
Tatiana Suarez
A Strawweight eager to redeem herself and maintain near the top of the rankings against the #4 contender, Amanda Lemos.
Suarez fought for the 115-pound title in her last fight, but lost by unanimous decision against Zhang Weili at UFC 312.
‘TSP’ hasn’t lost to anyone else in her career, holding 11 victories, which include six submissions and two KO/TKO wins.
After losing her perfect record, the #2 contender wants to return to the win column in what could be a title eliminator bout.
Alice Pereira
A Brazilian breaks the record for the youngest woman to compete in the UFC at just 19 years of age.
Pereira is undefeated with six wins and earned her way to the UFC after a title triumph against Samara Santos at Cage Master FC 2.
‘Golden Girl’ has five finishes with four ending by knockout and one submission; four of those stoppages have ended in the first round.
The record breaker takes on Montserrat Rendon in one of the first preliminary fights, hoping to give the San Antonio crowd an electrifying reaction from her performance.
