While some shows may look attractive on paper on a given Saturday night, when the cage door actually shuts and the fight happens, it could potentially be a long evening devoid of highlights.<\/p>\n<p>In the aftermath of <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/ufc-paris-exciting-matinee-france-september-6\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFC Paris<\/a>, four more Fight Night events are waiting in the wings. Today, we\u2019ll be taking a look at those cards.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no time like now to rank them, so let\u2019s get started. We\u2019ll be going in ascending order for this article, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Ranking the Next Four UFC Fight Nights:\u00a0<br \/>\n4. Noche UFC (September 13, 2025)<\/p>\n<p>Last year\u2019s edition of Noche UFC from the Vegas Sphere made for an interesting evening of action. In 2024, Noche UFC was headlined by two title fights at the top of the bill, with both then-incumbent champions losing their respective belts by way of unanimous decision. It was also a pay-per-view event.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s iteration of Noche UFC is a Fight Night card, with only two all-ranked fights the entire evening. One of these all-ranked fights is the main event of the evening.<\/p>\n<p>In said main event on Sept. 13, it\u2019ll be a featherweight contest matching No. 2 contender Diego Lopes (26-7 MMA, 5-2 UFC) with No. 10 contender Jean Silva (16-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC). Sportsbooks like <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.netbet.co.uk\/mma\/ufc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">NetBet<\/a> have Lopes as the firm favourite going into the fight, and Silva will be looking to pull off an upset against his higher ranked opponent. For the main event of a card to commemorate Mexican Independence Day, this is an all-Brazil fight.<\/p>\n<p>The lone other ranked fight on Noche UFC occurs on the prelims at strawweight. No. 2 contender Tatiana Suarez (10-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) collides with No. 4 contender Amanda Lemos (15-4-1 MMA, 9-4 UFC.) Any other night, this bout is booked as a main event.<\/p>\n<p>That said, the Lopes vs. Silva fight looks to be a solid five-round main event.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/proto-ceo-technology-noche-ufc\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Proto Hologram CEO talks about tech at Noche<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. UFC Perth (September 27, 2025)<\/p>\n<p>Although there aren\u2019t too many ranked contests on the upcoming Perth show, this card stands out for having decent representation of fighters from both Australia and New Zealand. Jimmy Crute (13-4-2 MMA, 5-4-2 UFC) will be making his 20th career appearance in the sport during that evening\u2019s main card against Ivan Erslan (14-5, 1 NC MMA, 0-2 UFC), who will be making his 21st appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Crute will be making a quick turnaround, having just fought in mid-July during <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/ufc-318-incredible-main-card-saturday-night\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UFC 318<\/a> in New Orleans. This should be a good litmus test for Erslan in his third UFC bout.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A cracking main event is booked for that night, as well. The main event for UFC Perth happens at light heavyweight between No. 3 contender Carlos Ulberg (12-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) and No. 8 contender Dominick Reyes (15-4 MMA, 9-4 UFC.)<\/p>\n<p>2. UFC Rio (Oct. 11, 2025)<\/p>\n<p>Here is where the fights on the upcoming schedule start to get juicy. UFC Rio on Oct. 11 features two all-ranked contests at the top of the bill. In your main event of the evening, it\u2019ll be a lightweight affair matching No. 4 contender Charles Oliveira (35-11, 1 NC MMA, 23-11, 1 NC UFC) with No. 10 contender Rafael Fiziev (13-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC).<\/p>\n<p>The co-main event of UFC Rio on Oct. 11 is a bantamweight fight No. 6 contender Deiveson Figueiredo (24-5-1 MMA, 13-5-1 UFC) with No. 10 contender Montel Jackson (15-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC.) \u201cHome games\u201d will be the order of the day in Rio that evening.<\/p>\n<p>Every fight on this show will feature a fighter based in Brazil making the walk to the fabled Octagon.<\/p>\n<p>1. UFC Vancouver (Oct. 18, 2025)<\/p>\n<p>UFC Vancouver on Oct. 18 is the best of the bunch when it comes to the next four Fight Night events. How couldn\u2019t it be?<\/p>\n<p>There are three all-ranked fights on this show, highlighted by a champ vs. champ showdown in your main event. Former two-division champion in ONE Championship and No. 4 contender <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/ufc-on-abc-9-amazing-main-card-saturday-abu-dhabi\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reinier de Ridder<\/a> (21-2 MMA, 4-0 UFC) will already be making his fifth trip to the Octagon to fight No. 6 contender and former LFA Middleweight Champion Anthony Hernandez (15-2, 1 NC MMA, 9-2 UFC.) A win here could result in a bid for the UFC Middleweight Championship for RDR.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the card, a key women\u2019s flyweight fight happens between No. 2 contender Manon Fiorot (12-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and No. 5 contender Jasmine Jasudavicius (14-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC.) This fight will serve as moving day for the division.<\/p>\n<p>Its winner gets that much closer to a title shot. Additionally, you\u2019ll be seeing a bantamweight showdown between No. 7 contender Marlon Vera (23-10-1 MMA, 15-9 UFC) and No. 10 contender Aiemann Zahabi (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC.)<\/p>\n<p>Around all the Canadian representation on UFC Vancouver, there is, however, one head-scratcher with an all-Brazil fight between Stephanie Luciano (6-2-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and Ravena Oliveira (7-2-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) on the card taking place a week after UFC Rio.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UFC Fight Nights, much like pay-per-view events from the No. 1 promotion in the world, are hit and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136472,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,785,85],"class_list":["post-136471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136471\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
