Noche UFC has officially announced a new main event for its September 12 event, featuring Jose Delgado stepping in to replace the injured Yair Rodriguez against Jean Silva.

Jose Delgado (12-2) has made a name for himself in 2026, achieving victories over Andre Fili and Austin Bashi, which brings his UFC record to 4-1. He initially gained attention after securing a contract with a knockout of Ernie Juarez on Dana White's Contender Series in 2024. His only setback in the UFC came from a decision loss to Nathaniel Wood in October 2025, a match where Delgado missed weight.

On the other hand, Jean Silva currently ranks No. 6 in the UFC's media rankings. After earning his spot in the UFC via the Contender Series, Silva put together an impressive streak of five wins, four of which were by knockout, before submitting Bryce Mitchell with an arm-triangle choke. Silva faced his first UFC loss in 2025, when he was knocked out by Diego Lopes in a thrilling main event. He bounced back with a hard-fought decision victory over Arnold Allen at UFC 324, marking the start of the "Paramount Era" in UFC events.

The Noche UFC fight card also features notable matchups, including Waldo Cortes-Acosta against Curtis Blaydes in the heavyweight division, and Manon Fiorot taking on former women's flyweight champion Alexa Grasso.
