"This year's Noche UFC had already lost its location, shifting from Guadalajara, Mexico to San Antonio, Texas due to construction delays at the venue in question. Now, it has lost its co-main event as well. Raul Rosas Jr. (11-1), who was supposed to have faced Rob Font (22-8) in the penultimate fight of the September card, has been forced out of the bout due to injury. News of the change was first reported by Wristlock MMA."
"The bantamweight clash was the highest on the card to feature Mexican-born talent. The main event features a pair of Brazilian fighters, Diego Lopes (who fights out of Mexico) and Jean Silva. Rosas, who appeared on Dana White's Contender Series as a 17-year old to earn a UFC deal, has won his last four fights. Font has notched back-to-back victories, and was looked at as another step up in competition for the youngster. The nature of Rosas Jr's injury is yet to be revealed."
Noche UFC moved from Guadalajara to San Antonio, Texas because of venue construction delays. Raul Rosas Jr. withdrew from his scheduled co‑main event against Rob Font due to an undisclosed injury. Rosas is 11‑1, earned a UFC contract via Dana White's Contender Series at age 17, and has won four straight fights. Font is 22‑8 with back‑to‑back victories and was viewed as a step up in competition. The event is set for September 13, 2025 at the Frost Bank Center and will coincide with Mexican Independence Day. Reported matchups include Diego Lopes vs Jean Silva and several other featured bouts.
