Noche UFC preview: Start time, full card and how to watch Jean Silva, Brandon Moreno and more fight

MMA’s leading promotion will once again celebrate Mexican Independence Day on September 12.

Following a successful card in Paris, the latest Noche UFC event takes place this Saturday.

Featherweight brawler Jean Silva returns against Jose Delgado in the main event, a matchup that came about on short notice after Yair Rodriguez withdrew from his headliner against ‘Lord’ due to an injury.

As fight week gets underway ahead of the event in Glendale, Arizona, here’s everything you need to know about the action taking place at the next UFC Fight Night.

While the UFC Octagon is back on United States soil after the recent event in Paris, the event will start only a couple of hours later.

That means fans in the United Kingdom won’t be gearing up for the usual late nights they have for numbered events, and there will still be some afternoon fights for American viewers.

There will be no changes to how American fans tune in for the latest UFC card.

Paramount+ is your one destination for the entire card if you’re a US fan, otherwise it will depend on the broadcasting rights in your region.

UK fans, for example, will still need a TNT Sports subscription, now available via HBO Max, though the prelims will also air on UFC Fight Pass.

The event at the Desert Diamond Arena will conclude with the always entertaining Silva, as he defends his spot on the featherweight ladder against Delgado.

But there are also a number of other prominent names on the undercard, many of whom are Mexican stars looking to have their hands raised at the national celebration.

This includes former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno, ex-flyweight queen Alexa Grasso, and surging bantamweight contender David Martinez.
