Noche UFC: Jean Silva, Jose Delgado full fight marathon
Check out six full fights from Noche UFC headliners Jean Silva and Jose Delgado ahead of their Arizona showdown.
Next week, the UFC will host its annual celebration of Mexican Independence Day in Arizona. UFC Fight Night 288 will be held at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, just outside of Phoenix. The main event features Jean Silva (17-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC) taking on Jose Delgado (12-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC).
Delgado replaced Yair Rodriguez, who had to withdraw from the main event due to an injury. Silva bounced back to victory in January after his first loss in the UFC, against Diego Lopes. Lopes knocked Silva out a year ago, which prevented him from earning a featherweight title shot against champion Alexander Volkanovski.
Following his lone UFC loss, Delgado has secured back-to-back decision wins. However, Silva will be a significant challenge for Delgado. Silva is a MMA Lab-trained fighter and will be making his UFC debut headlining a home show.
With the fight just two weeks away, fans can expect to see some of the best performances from Silva and Delgado. This article originally appeared on MMA Junkie: Noche UFC: Jean Silva, Jose Delgado full fight marathon.
