UFC hosted its annual Noche UFC event on September 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, to celebrate Mexican Independence Day. Alexa Grasso secured a unanimous decision over Manon Fiorot, while Tommy McMillen also earned a unanimous decision in his featherweight bout against Marwan Rahiki. Brandon Moreno captured a split-decision win over Joseph Morales, though the crowd response for the former flyweight champion was muted compared to previous years. Jean Silva concluded the main card by forcing a submission via chokehold against Jose Miguel Delgado in the third round. Elsewhere on the card, Curtis Blaydes earned a decision against Waldo Cortes Acosta in a heavyweight fight that drew boos from the audience. This event marked the first time the promotion held a Noche UFC card in the Phoenix area as part of a multi-event agreement.
