Jose Delgado replaces Yair Rodriguez in Jean Silva’s Noche UFC 4 main event
Delgado (12-2) is 4-1 in the UFC since making his Octagon debut in 2024. Coming off decision wins over Andre Fili and Austin Bashi, he will face his biggest step up in competition by far against Silva (17-3).
Meanwhile, Silva is coming off a decision win over Arnold Allen, rebounding from his lone UFC loss to Diego Lopes. “Lord” had finished all five of his previous UFC opponents before losing to Lopes. The Brazilian reacted to the change of opponent on X.
“Hunter took care of everything, we have a new target,” Silva posted on X. “New opponent, same date, same goal.”
Rodriguez (20-5) is now facing backlash for yet another withdrawal. “El Pantera” hasn’t fought since a win over Patricio Freire last April, which saw him rebound from consecutive stoppage losses to Alexander Volkanovski and Brian Ortega.
