Jose Delgado is a Yuma, Arizona-born featherweight fighting out of The MMA Lab who punched his way onto the UFC roster with a Dana White's Contender Series knockout of Ernie Juarez in August 2024. He opened his UFC run with first-round finishes of Connor Matthews and Hyder Amil in 2025 before grinding out a decision over Austin Bashi in July 2026 to run his win streak to three. He steps in on short notice for the biggest fight and stage of his career, replacing an injured Yair Rodriguez opposite Jean Silva in the new Noche UFC main event.
