Despite his 2nd-round loss to fellow Brazilian Lopes via an unexpected knockout, Jean Silva remains firmly No. 6 in the UFC featherweight rankings, so a victory in this Fight Night main event will put him squarely in the title race. Better known as “Lord,” he is a renowned elite finisher; this is evident throughout his career, in which he has defeated 15 of his 17 opponents via submission or knockout.
In the other corner will be José Miguel Delgado, who accepted this fight with just three weeks’ notice after Yair Rodríguez withdrew due to injury. The U.S.-born fighter may be facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in his career, as this will be only his sixth fight in a UFC octagon. On top of that, Delgado struggles to make it to the final stages of a fight, having gone the distance in only three of his last 10 bouts.
Jean Silva not only comes into the fight better prepared than his opponent but has also proven to be much sharper in the Octagon, so a victory for the Brazilian is expected before the full duration of the fight is reached.
