After a historic night for the UFC, the promotion sticks around in Las Vegas for another fight night card, with just slightly less excitement. Noche UFC marked the promotion's first attempt at a Mexican-inspired event and for the most part, it was a smashing success.
Now the UFC hopes to keep the winning momentum going when it moves the Octagon back to the UFC APEX for UFC Vegas 79, featuring a lightweight match-up between No. 6 ranked Rafael Fiziev and No. 7 ranked Mateusz Gamrot.
In the co-main event, we will see a featherweight scrap between Bryce Mitchell, who is returning to the cage after an extended layoff to face Dan Ige.
