Noche UFC now has its official fight-by-fight preview in place, with Jean Silva and Jose Miguel Delgado listed for the main event at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
The Sept. 12 card gives Silva a second straight Noche UFC headliner after his loss to Diego Lopes last year and his January rebound against Arnold Allen. Delgado stepped into the assignment after Yair Rodriguez withdrew, turning MiddleEasy's earlier Silva-Delgado booking coverage into the top bout on UFC's full Glendale preview.
UFC's preview lists the event for Paramount+ and lays out a main card that also includes Brandon Moreno vs. Joseph Morales, Tommy McMillen vs. Marwan Rahiki, Manon Fiorot vs. Alexa Grasso, Waldo Cortes Acosta vs. Curtis Blaydes, and David Martinez vs. Dan Ige.
Noche UFC Gets A Full Glendale Card Shape
The Moreno-Morales bout carries its own Mexican MMA angle after MiddleEasy previously tracked Moreno's Noche UFC booking with Joseph Morales. Moreno enters as a former UFC flyweight champion, while Morales brings a long unbeaten run into the highest-profile assignment of his career.
Fiorot vs. Grasso gives the card a ranked women's flyweight matchup with immediate relevance to the division's reshuffled title picture. UFC's official preview also frames Cortes Acosta vs. Blaydes as a heavyweight test between a rising puncher and a long-running contender.
Further down the card, David Martinez vs. Dan Ige brings a top-10 bantamweight against a veteran dropping to a new division. The prelim lineup includes Tim Elliott vs. Edgar Chairez, Ignacio Bahamondes vs. Muslim Salikhov, Yousri Belgaroui vs. Djorden Santos, Drakkar Klose vs. Tommy Gantt, Rafa Garcia vs. Rongzhu, Sean King vs. Jessie Rosas, and JJ Aldrich vs. Regina Tarin.
That gives UFC a full Noche UFC schedule built around a short-notice main event, a former champion in Moreno, a former flyweight champion in Grasso, and several prospects trying to turn the Arizona date into a rankings push.
