UFC Fight Night 288, also known as Noche UFC, has adjusted its lineup for the upcoming event on Sept. 12 at Diamond Desert Arena in Glendale, Ariz. The promotion removed a scheduled featherweight bout between Rodrigo Vera and Ramiro Jimenez due to visa issues for Vera. Jimenez will not receive a replacement opponent for the event. In a separate move, the card added a featherweight fight between newcomers Sean King and Jessie Rosas. King, an undefeated prospect, enters the promotion directly after his planned appearance on Dana White's Contender Series. Rosas, the younger brother of bantamweight fighter Raul Rosas Jr., joins the card following a previously cancelled debut due to a medical issue. The event will be broadcast on Paramount+.
