Delija and Tybura are familiar with one another: In September 2015, the Polish veteran defeated “Walking Trouble” via first-round TKO in a title tilt at M-1 Challenge 61 “Battle of Narts” in Nazran, Russia.
A protege of Mirko Filipovic, Delija captured the PFL heavyweight championship in 2022 and was a finalist the year prior. He’s fought just once per year since 2023, earning wins over Maurice Greene and Yorgan De Castro while falling to Valentin Moldavsky.
Tybura has emerged as a solid gatekeeper in the UFC, compiling a 10-3 record in the Octagon since 2020. The 39-year-old Pole has won three of his last four outings and is coming off a three-round verdict against Mick Parkin at UFC London on March 22.
