It's fight night in the UFC, and for the second year in a row, we'll be seeing the "Noche UFC" in honor of Mexican Independence Day.
The event, officially branded as Riyadh Season Noche UFC, will be held in quite a scenic venue: The Sphere in Las Vegas. That's right — the octagon is meeting the Sphere.
It's a compelling ticket that features a pair of championship fighters. Men's bantamweight champion Season O'Malley is fighting Merab Dvalishvili, while women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso faces off against former champion Valentina Shevchenko to highlight the main card.
Here are some of the breathtaking views from Noche UFC at the Sphere.
