More than a year after UFC na Esfera , the Ultimate holds another event in honor of Mexican Independence this Saturday (13), with a green and yellow duel in the main fight. In great form, Jean Silva seeks to leave the last defeats of Fighting Nerds behind and add one of the big names of the featherweight category (up to 65,7 kg.) to his record. On the other hand, Diego Lopes defends the third position in the ranking and with a victory can seek a new opportunity for the belt.

In the main event of UFC Noche , Diego Lopes and Jean Silva will experience the culmination of an intense rivalry in a duel scheduled for five rounds. On a streak of 13 consecutive victories, five of which are in the world's largest MMA organization, the Fighting Nerds star could become the new challenger for Alexander Volkanovski 's belt if he manages to defeat his compatriot.

On the other hand, Diego Lopes enters the octagon as the Mexican representative of the event and tries to recover from the setback suffered against the Australian in April of this year. If he wins, "Franja" will join Benoit Saint-Denis and Nassourdine Imavov as a conqueror of one of the most well-known academies in the world of MMA.
