‘It was a beautiful event’: Edgar Chairez reflects on UFC’s inaugural Mexican Independence Day card

In just his second UFC fight, Edgar Chairez was able to partake in a historical moment for his country of Mexico.

The UFC flyweight competed at Noche UFC on Sept. 16, the UFC’s inaugural event celebrating Mexican Independence Day. Unfortunately for Chairez (10-5 MMA, 0-1 UFC), a mistake by the referee led to a no contest in his bout against Daniel Lacerda.

Either way, despite not getting the desired result, Chairez is grateful to have competed in such an important event for his country. It was an experience he won’t forget.
