On Tuesday, Dana White announced that on September 13, featherweight standouts Diego Lopes and Jean Silva will square off inside the Frost Bank Center as the main event of this year’s Mexican Independence Day celebration in San Antonio.
Lopes and Silva both competed at UFC 314 in April. The former fell short in his first title opportunity, falling to reigning 145-pound champion Alexander Volkanovski. Meanwhile, ‘Lord’ delivered one of the most memorable performances of the night, brutally sleeping Bryce Mitchell in the second round of their all-too-personal encounter.
