The Octagon returns to Glendale, Arizona for tonight’s Noche UFC 4 event, a 13-bout fight card headlined by Jean Silva vs. Jose Delgado.
Silva (17-3 MMA) was most previously seen in action at this past January’s UFC 324 event, where he scored a unanimous decision victory over Arnold Allen. ‘Lord’ has gone 4-1 over his past five fights overall, scoring stoppage victories over Drew Dober, Melsik Baghdasaryan and Bryce Mitchell during that stretch.
Meanwhile, Jose Delgado (12-2 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest on a two-fight winning streak, this after scoring back-to-back decision victories over Austin Bashi and Andre Fili. Like his opponent Jean Silva, Delgado has gone 4-1 over his past five Octagon appearances, earning stoppage wins over Hyder Amil and Connor Matthews.
Noche UFC 4 is co-headlined by a men’s flyweight matchup between Brandon Moreno and Joseph Morales.

Moreno (23-10-2 MMA) will enter the contest with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘The Assassin Baby’ most previously took to the Octagon this past February, where he suffered a unanimous decision loss to Lone’er Kavanagh. That setback was preceded by a TKO loss to Tatsuro Taira at UFC 323 in December of last year. Prior to those defeats, the former flyweight champion had earned back-to-back decision wins over Amir Albazi and Steve Erceg.
Meanwhile, Joseph Morales (14-2 MMA) currently boasts a five-fight winning streak, with his most recent victory coming by way of submission over Matt Schnell this past November at UFC Vegas 111. ‘Bopo’ has gone 6-2 since joining the UFC ranks in August of 2017.
Also featured on tonight’s Noche UFC 4 main card lineup is a heavyweight contest between Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Curtis Blaydes.
Cortes-Acosta (17-3 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkov this past May at UFC 328. Prior to that defeat, ‘Salsa Boy’ had strung together three-straight knockout victories over opponents Ante Delija, Shamil Gaziev and Derrick Lewis.
Meanwhile, Curtis Blaydes (19-6 MMA) was most previously seen in the Octagon this past April at UFC 327, where he suffered a decision loss to Josh Hokit in a FOTN performance. Prior to that setback, ‘Razor’ had earned a split decision victory over Rizvan Kuniev in June of last year.
