UFC’s annual event to honor Mexican Independence Day, Noche UFC, goes down Saturday with featherweights at the top of the bill.
Here's how to watch Noche UFC, where a new 145-pound contender could emerge.
Broadcast and streaming info
Noche UFC has a main card that streams at 5 p.m. ET on Paramount+. The prelims stream on Paramount+ at 2 p.m. ET, as well as UFC Fight Pass.
Stay tuned to MMA Junkie for additional broadcast details later this week.
Main event: Jean Silva

- Record: 17-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC
- Opponent: Jose Delgado (12-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC)
- Division: Featherweight
- Key wins: Arnold Allen, Bryce Mitchell, Melsik Baghdasaryan, Drew Dober, Charles Jourdain
- Misc.: After the first loss of his UFC run, which came a year ago this week against Diego Lopes in a title eliminator, the 29-year-old bounced back with a decision over Arnold Allen at UFC 324 in January. His original booking was against former interim champ Yair Rodriguez until he pulled out. A win over him would’ve held a bit more cache in the featherweight title picture than one over Delgado, though Delgado is no slouch.
Main event: Jose Delgado

- Record: 12-2 MMA, 4-1 UFC
- Opponent: Jean Silva (17-3 MMA, 6-1 UFC)
- Division: Featherweight
- Key wins: Austin Bashi, Andre Fili, Hyder Amil
- Misc.: Delgado had a slick DWCS finish in 2024 to get a contract, then back-to-back first-round finishes to open his UFC tenure – including a 26-second finish of Amil. Some of the luster came off when he missed weight last fall, then lost a decision to Nathaniel Wood. But his 2026 has been back on the uptick with a pair of decisions over Bashi and Fili. He’s a significant underdog, but he’s fighting in front of his home fans in Phoenix, so will get the biggest pop of the night, almost certainly.
Co-main event: Joseph Morales
- Record: 14-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC
- Opponent: Brandon Moreno (23-10-2 MMA, 11-7-2 UFC)
- Division: Flyweight
- Key wins: Matt Schnell, Alibi Idiris
- Misc.: After Season 33 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” the Team Alpha Male-based 32-year-old had back-to-back submission wins in the first two fights of his second UFC stint. He hasn’t lost an MMA fight in nearly eight years – a split decision to Eric Shelton in the UFC that wound up his last fight for nearly three years.
Co-main event: Brandon Moreno

- Record: 23-10-2 MMA, 11-7-2 UFC
- Opponent: Joseph Morales (14-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC)
- Division: Flyweight
- Key wins: Steve Erceg
- Misc.: The ex-champ has been here before. A few years ago, he had to work off back-to-back losses to Alexandre Pantoja, when he lost the title during his second reign, and Brandon Royval. He’s back there again after a knockout loss last December to Tatsuro Taira and a decision setback in February to Lone’er Kavanagh. Despite his lengthy UFC tenure, he’s only 32, so thinking he doesn’t have a title run left in him would be a fool’s errand.
