UFC Fight Night: Lopes vs. Silva (also known as UFC Fight Night 259 and Noche UFC 3) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on September 13, 2025, at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, Texas, United States.[1]
Background
[edit]The event will mark the promotion's fourth visit to San Antonio and first since UFC on ESPN: Vera vs. Sandhagen in March 2023.[1]
It will also be the third annual "Noche UFC" event commemorating Mexico's independence day, following September 2023's UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 and September 2024's UFC 306. It was originally expected to take place in Guadalajara, Mexico and serve as UFC 320, but it was moved to San Antonio (and shifted to a Fight Night card) due to the construction of Arena Guadalajara being stalled.[2][3]
A featherweight bout between former UFC Featherweight Championship challenger Diego Lopes and Jean Silva is scheduled to headline this event.[4]
