UFC Makes Announcement About Noche UFC 3 Card
UFC Makes Announcement About Noche UFC 3 Card originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The UFC is changing course on one of its most symbolic events of the year. Known for celebrating Mexican fighters and culture around Mexican Independence Day, the annual Noche UFC card has become a staple of the promotion's calendar. Last year's spectacle took place inside the Las Vegas Sphere and featured a shocking outcome, as Sean O'Malley lost his bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili in dramatic fashion during the main event. Now, the promotion is setting its sights elsewhere for 2025.

In an official announcement made during the UFC Vegas 107 broadcast and later confirmed via a post on X (formerly Twitter), the UFC revealed: 'The 3rd annual #NocheUFC will now take place at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas on September 13. The Noche UFC Fight Night card will celebrate and honor the remarkable contributions of Mexican fighters to combat sports and continues UFC's great tradition of holding an event around Mexican Independence Day.'
Initially, there had been strong speculation that the UFC would take the event abroad, with plans seemingly set for Arena Guadalajara in Mexico. However, delays related to construction at the venue may have forced the promotion to reconsider. The first two Noche UFC events were held in Las Vegas, making this upcoming San Antonio card the first to take place outside of Nevada.

While no fights have been confirmed for the event, the UFC's commitment to honoring Mexican heritage remains unchanged—and fans will be watching closely to see who lands on this meaningful card. UFC President Dana White has yet to announce any matchups for the event, but his involvement will likely shape the final lineup. With the event just months away, anticipation continues to build as fans await further updates on what's next for Noche UFC 3.
