The UFC presents its third annual Noche UFC event Saturday, with a pair of featherweight contenders headlining the action at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio.

Brazilian fighters Diego Lopes and Jean Silva will face off in the main event. The packed 14-fight card begins with prelims at 3 p.m. ET on the ESPN App. The main card is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

Lopes (26-7-0) seeks a bounce-back performance after falling to Alexander Volkanovski in April at UFC 314 in a unanimous decision for the vacant featherweight title. The 5-foot-11 Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist had entered on a five-fight winning streak and was the top contender in the 145-pound division.

Silva (16-2-0) has won five straight bouts since graduating from Dana White's Contender Series in September 2023. The 5-7 striker defeated Bryce Mitchell via second-round submission in his last time out in April in an undercard bout of Volkanovski-Lopes at UFC 314.
