Noche UFC, the event created to honor Mexican fighting heritage was held at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio Saturday. Select fighters from Houston along with their support and fans traveled three hours west to participate in the electrifying event.

Houston fighter Alden Coria won his debut fight with the company with support out of his training gym 4oz Fight Club located off Jones Road. The Flyweight looked solid during his bout, beating Alessandro Costa by TKO (strikes) in the third round. Shiner native Zach Reese fighting out of WAR Training Center in Tomball had his bout called a No Contest less than a minute into the first round. (Photos by Jack Gorman)
