The annual Noche UFC card has a headliner.
Yair Rodriguez will clash with Jean Silva in a star-powered featherweight tilt on Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Ariz.
It will be Rodriguez's first fight in more than a year after he defeated Patricio Freire at UFC 314 in April 2025. Rodriguez had hand surgery last October, which sidelined him for multiple months.
Meanwhile, Silva is coming off a unanimous decision win over Arnold Allen at UFC 324 in January. It was a return to form for Silva after his first UFC loss came last September to Diego Lopes.

Jean Silva vs. Yair Rodriguez
Manon Fiorot vs. Alexa Grasso
Joseph Morales vs. Brandon Moreno
Curtis Blaydes vs. Waldo Cortes Acosta
Yousri Belgaroui vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Edgar Chairez vs. Tim Elliott
