The UFC's Noche UFC 2025 event has been relocated from Guadalajara, Mexico, to San Antonio, Texas, and downgraded from a numbered event to a Fight Night. This change was necessitated by construction delays at Arena Guadalajara, which is behind schedule, causing the UFC to adjust its plans. Originally, the event was expected to feature a title fight between Yair Rodriguez and Alexander Volkanovski, but with the relocation and downgrade, that fight will not occur. The UFC has plans to return to Guadalajara in 2026 for future events.
The arena in Guadalajara, designed for 20,000 attendees, is significantly behind schedule, leading to the UFC's decision to relocate Noche UFC 2025 to San Antonio.
While San Antonio will host the downgraded Fight Night, the anticipated title bout between Yair Rodriguez and Alexander Volkanovski will not take place.
The UFC still plans to bring Noche UFC to Guadalajara in 2026, highlighting their commitment to eventually host significant events in Mexico.
The change raises questions about Yair Rodriguez's title shot chances post-event rescheduling and the implications for recent featherweight bouts.
