Jean Silva is ready for some Noche UFC redemption.
On Friday, all 26 fighters for the latest Noche UFC card successfully made weight, including both Jean Silva and Jose Miguel Delgado, who face off in the featherweight main event on Saturday. Delgado made use of the one-pound allowance for non-title fights, weighing in at 145.5 pounds, while Silva made a statement, coming in at the championship weight of 145 pounds.
Hailing from the Fighting Nerds team, Silva appeared on the cusp of a featherweight
title last year, before suffering a TKO loss to Diego Lopes in the main event of Noche UFC last year. After rebounding with a unanimous decision win over Arnold Allen in January, Silva is looking to get back in the 145-pound title picture and redeem his previous showing at Noche UFC.
Joining the UFC from Contender Series in 2024, Delgado has made an immediate splash in the promotion, racking up a 4-1 record in the octagon in less than two years. Silva was originally set to face Yair Rodriguez in the Noche UFC main event, but when Rodriguez pulled out of the fight, Delgado stepped in on short notice and is looking for the biggest win of his career.

Also on the card, former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno returns to the octagon looking to stop a two-fight losing streak when he takes on Joseph Morales in the co-main event. Both Moreno and Morales successfully made weight, with both coming in at 125.5 pounds.
Also of note, the previously planned flyweight fight between Tim Elliott and Edgar Chairez that serves as the final prelim fight was changed to a 130-pound catchweight bout before weigh-ins, with both men making the 130-pound mark.
