Rodriguez exits Noche UFC; Delgado steps in to face Silva in Glendale
Yair Rodriguez pulled out of the Sept. 12 Noche UFC main event for undisclosed reasons, and Jean Silva will now face Jose Delgado in Glendale, Arizona. Delgado (12-2) earns his first main-event slot after wins over Andre Fili and Austin Bashi, while Silva (17-3) looks to keep momentum after a January victory over Arnold Allen. Rodriguez hasn’t fought since April 2025, his last appearance before a year-long layoff following a two-fight skid.
