The UFC will make its comeback on September 14 with the first live sporting event at Sphere Las Vegas for UFC 306 during Riyadh Season Noche UFC.
This has been described by Dana White as a 'love letter' to Mexico, honoring the Mexican people for their remarkable impact on combat sports. It also upholds the longstanding tradition of hosting major fights during Mexican Independence Day.

In the co-main event, women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso will defend her belt in the third fight of her trilogy against former champion Valentina Shevchenko.
