  "summary": "Rising UFC Featherweight prospect Jose Delgado is set to face No. 6-ranked contender Jean Silva in the main event of Noche UFC 4 on September 12, 2026, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Delgado, who replaced Yair Rodriguez in the bout due to injury, believes he can steal Rodriguez's place in the Featherweight title picture and potentially challenge the winner of Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev at UFC 333 in October. Delgado has dismissed Silva's intimidating persona as an \"illusion\" and called him a \"coward,\" stating that he will \"put him down like a dog.\" Silva, known for his unpredictable and intense fighting style, has a 17-3 record and five stoppage wins, while Delgado, at 12-2, is riding a two-fight winning streak with two first-round knockouts.",
