Noche UFC at the Sphere in Las Vegas continues to take shape with the addition of an entertaining flyweight showdown.
On September 14th, Kevin Borjas will find Edgar Chairez at UFC 306, an event also known as Riad Noche UFC Season. The one-of-a-kind event at the one-of-a-kind venue in Las Vegas will be a Mexican Independence Day celebration. MMA Junkie has confirmed the matchup with multiple sources, though the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Peruvian Borjas (9-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) will be looking for his first victory under the UFC banner. Following his unanimous decision win on Dana White’s Contender Series, Borjas signed with the UFC but struggled in his first two appearances, losing a unanimous decision to Joshua Van at UFC 295 in November and a TKO loss to Alessandro Costa at UFC 301 in May. .
Mexico’s Chairez (11-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) looks to keep the momentum going after his first win in the promotion. In his first performance of the year, in February, Chairez submitted Daniel Lacerda with a triangle choke. It was the second meeting between the two after the first was declared a no contest in September due to a premature referee stoppage.
With the addition, the current Noche UFC roster includes:
-
Irene Aldana x Norma Dumont

Anthony Hernández x Michel Pereira
