UFC Fight Tonight: Is there a UFC card on Saturday, September 16, 2023?

The world's premier MMA promotion is returning to Las Vegas, Nevada, for UFC fight tonight at the T-Mobile Arena. UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 (also known as Noche UFC: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2) will feature a thrilling title bout and a series of other exciting matchups.

In a main event of the UFC Fight Night, Alexa Grasso will look to defend her women's flyweight crown for the first time as she takes on Valentina Shevchenko in a rematch from their original bout earlier this year.

The pair first battled at UFC 285 in March where Alexa Grasso pulled off a huge upset by submitting Shevchenko in the fourth round via a face crank. In the process, Grasso picked up her fifth straight win and became the first woman from Mexico to claim UFC gold.

Valentina Shevchenko, meanwhile, had a nine-fight win streak snapped in her loss to Grasso. While 'Bullet' was unable to escape the deadly choke, she was ahead on the judges' scorecards going into the fourth round. The former long-time champion will now look to reclaim her title when she meets the Mexican for a second time.
