The Noche UFC card on Sept. 14 will have fewer fights on the lineup than a standard UFC event, but the price to put it on will be immense.
UFC CEO Dana White revealed on Monday during an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show” that the highly anticipated event, which is also known as UFC 306, will feature just 10 bouts on the lineup.
“We’re going to do 10 (fights),” White told McAfee. “There will be a main, co-main, and obviously this card will be very Mexican-heavy.”
White did not reveal any additional details for what fights will carry the card. Host Ariel Helwani said on Monday’s episode of “The MMA Hour” that Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili for the bantamweight title and a title defense for women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso, against Valentina Shevchenko or someone else, are being discussed.

As he has before, White promised the UFC’s venture into Sphere will be unlike any event in the promotion’s history.
“I’m already $17 million into this thing, and we’re not anywhere near September yet,” White said. “… I keep telling you guys: It’s gonna be the most unique, badass show you’ve ever seen in sports.”
There are already six fights reported as set for the event, which airs on ESPN+ pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNews and ESPN+.
The latest Noche UFC lineup includes:
Anthony Hernandez vs. Michel Pereira
Irene Aldana vs. Norma Dumont
Yazmin Jauregui vs. Ketlen Souza
Ignacio Bahamondes vs. Manuel Torres
Kevin Borjas vs. Edgar Chairez
Ode Osbourne vs. Luis Rodriguez
