San Antonio, Texas – UFC’s third annual Noche UFC event is confirmed to take place at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio on September 13, following construction delays at Arena Guadalajara in Mexico, which necessitated the venue change. The announcement about the relocation was made during a UFC Fight Night broadcast.
This upcoming event has been reclassified from UFC 320 to a Fight Night card due to the alteration in its location. Currently, no fight matchups have been announced for Noche UFC, leaving fans eagerly awaiting further details as the date approaches.
Despite the change this year, UFC has confirmed that next year’s Noche UFC will return to Guadalajara as originally planned, assuring fans that the event will eventually take place at its intended venue.
Noche UFC: A Celebration of Cultural Heritage
Noche UFC is a special event that celebrates Mexican Independence Day and honors the contributions of Mexican fighters in the world of combat sports. This tradition began with the inaugural Noche UFC in Las Vegas during UFC Fight Night 227, where the headlining match featured fighters Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.
Last year’s event coincided with UFC 306, where Grasso and Shevchenko faced off in a trilogy fight that served as a co-main event. UFC 306 was noteworthy for being hosted at the Las Vegas Sphere, representing a significant achievement in the realm of combat sports.
UFC’s History in San Antonio
This marks UFC’s fourth visit to San Antonio, with previous events being held in 2014 and 2019. Earlier this year, San Antonio hosted UFC on ESPN 43, showcasing the city’s ongoing association with mixed martial arts.
The Frost Bank Center, as the chosen venue, will provide a fitting stage for the Noche UFC events, drawing in both local fans and visitors eager to witness the thrilling atmosphere that accompanies UFC events.
The Future of Noche UFC
Despite the current announcement regarding this year’s location change, UFC’s commitment to its fanbase remains strong, indicating that Noche UFC will return to its roots in Guadalajara for next year’s festivities.
