Noche UFC Silva Delgado headlines a stacked 13-fight card tonight at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, as the promotion’s Mexican Independence Day weekend tradition returns for a fourth year.
A late change at the top of the card
Brazilian featherweight Jean Silva (17-3) was originally slated to face former interim champion Yair Rodriguez, but Rodriguez withdrew from the fight due to injury and was replaced by Arizona’s own Jose Miguel Delgado (12-2). Silva enters as a heavy betting favorite off a strong recent run, while Delgado, fighting close to home, gets the biggest opportunity of his career as a late replacement.
The co-main event pits former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno against Joseph Morales, winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 33, and the card also features Manon Fiorot defending against former champion Alexa Grasso and a heavyweight clash between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Curtis Blaydes.
