The world's largest MMA organization promotes Noche UFC this Saturday afternoon (12) with a very important fight for the new generation of Brazilian athletes in the main event. In a duel valid for the featherweight division (up to 65,7 kg), Jean Silva faces José Miguel Delgado for five rounds, in a confrontation whose winner should qualify to compete for the category title.
Originally, the Fighting Nerds star was scheduled to face Yair Rodriguez . However, the Mexican withdrew from the fight after suffering an injury during training. Therefore, Delgado took his place on short notice, a fact that didn't cause any problems for the Brazilian.
