INAUGURAL NOCHE UFC EVENT! Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is bringing an action-packed card to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sat., Sept. 23, 2023, to celebrate Mexican Independence Day with a thrilling women’s Flyweight championship rematch between champion Alexa Grasso and No. 1-ranked contender, Valentina Shevchenko. In Noche UFC’s co-main event, all-action Welterweight standouts, Jack Della Maddalena and Kevin Holland, will hook ‘em up in a fun 170-pound showdown.
Both welterweights had their moments in the first round, but it looked like Salikhov was gaining the upper hand. Jingliang turned things up in the second round and was able to find a home for his powerful right hand. He clobbered Salikhov a few times before the Russian toppled to the canvas. That’s when Jingling unloaded a barrage of elbows to secure his knockout finish.
