Diego Lopes vs. Yair Rodriguez expected to headline UFC Mexico City on March 29


Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico, on Sat., March 29, 2025 with an all-action featherweight headliner between Top 5 title contenders on ESPN.

Diego Lopes vs. Yair Rodriguez, according to Home of Fight.

Lopes (26-6) is the winner of five straight, which includes his unanimous decision victory over former featherweight title challenger, Brian Ortega, at UFC 306 last September. As for Rodriguez (19-5, 1 NC), no stranger to 145-pound title fights, he’ll look to rebound from his submission loss to “T-City” at the promotion’s last Mexico City fight card in early 2024.

Here’s the current UFC Mexico City fight card and ESPN lineup:

145 lbs.: Diego Lopes vs. Yair Rodriguez
185 lbs.: Kelvin Gastelum vs. Joe Pyfer
