Paramount+ Brings Fans a UFC and Boxing Doubleheader on September 12

On Saturday, September 12, Paramount+ is bringing two of combat sports’ biggest stages together for a full day of live action in celebration of Mexican Independence Day weekend. The lineup begins in Glendale, Arizona, with the fourth annual Noche UFC, followed by the first Zuffa Boxing Super Fight on Paramount+, live from Las Vegas.

 

With UFC and boxing sharing the spotlight, subscribers can watch marquee matchups across both sports as part of their existing Paramount+ subscription. Coverage begins at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT with the Noche UFC: Silva vs. Delgado prelims and continues into the night, culminating in Ryan Garcia’s welterweight world title defense against Conor Benn.

 

Noche UFC  Returns With Silva vs. Delgado

The action begins at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, where Noche UFC returns for its fourth annual celebration of Mexican Independence Day. The main card starts at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT and is headlined by surging featherweight contender Jean Silva and rising Mexican-American star Jose Miguel Delgado.

 

The card also brings together former champions, rising contenders and fighters looking to build on standout performances. Tommy “Gun” McMillen returns to the Octagon after landing a UFC-record 252 significant strikes in a three-round fight in his last appearance. Former women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso will face Manon Fiorot, while former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno takes on Joseph Morales. 

Ryan Garcia Defends His Title Against Conor Benn

The celebration continues at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where two of boxing’s most recognizable stars will meet in a marquee title fight. The boxing prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, followed by the main card at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

 

Ryan Garcia, the Mexican-American welterweight world champion, will put his title on the line against British contender Conor “The Destroyer” Benn. The highly anticipated showdown marks the first Zuffa Boxing Super Fight to stream on Paramount+ and arrives on a weekend that has long held a prominent place on the boxing calendar. 

Major fights staged around Mexican Independence Day have traditionally been offered as premium pay-per-view events. Garcia vs. Benn gives Paramount+ subscribers access to the full event through their existing subscription, at no additional cost.

 

In the co-main event, undefeated Australian star and reigning Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight world champion Jai Opetaia will defend his title against former champion Noel Mikaelian in a meeting between two of the division’s elite.
