Violence incoming.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight headliners Jean Silva and Jose Delgado came face-to-face Friday evening following the Noche UFC 4 ceremonial weigh-ins, held ahead of their main event tomorrow night (Sat., Sept. 12, 2026) inside Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
Delgado quickly stormed onto the stage and soaked in a massive ovation from his hometown crowd. Silva, meanwhile, took his time—as usual—and initially hid his face from the fans.
When Silva finally
stepped onto the scale and struck his pose, he revealed that his face had been painted like a sugar skull.
The two Featherweights then got directly in each other’s faces. Silva unleashed his trademark bark, but Delgado refused to take the bait, standing his ground and staring straight through the Brazilian contender.
Surprisingly, that faceoff ended without incident.
The same cannot be said for undefeated Featherweight prospects Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki.
McMillen and Rahiki have exchanged words throughout fight week, with their bad blood eventually leading to a heated confrontation at the fighter hotel.
They barely lasted a few seconds in front of each other Friday night before McMillen shoved Rahiki and appeared to take a swipe at him. Security quickly rushed onto the stage and separated the two fighters before the situation could escalate any further.
McMillen continued shouting as he was dragged away, while Rahiki appeared more than happy to keep the confrontation going.
Thankfully, they will get to settle everything inside the Octagon tomorrow night.
