Noche UFC 4 Set for September 12 in Arizona

Noche UFC 4 is set to take place on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, with the main card scheduled to begin at 5:00 p.m. ET. The event, which celebrates Mexican Independence Day, features a 13-bout lineup headlined by a featherweight bout between Jean Silva and Jose Delgado. The main event was altered after former interim featherweight champion Yair Rodriguez withdrew from the fight. Jose Delgado, a 28-year-old fighter with a 12-2 professional record, stepped in on short notice to face Silva. Both fighters successfully made weight for the five-round contest, with Silva weighing in at 145 pounds and Delgado at 145.5 pounds. Silva, a 29-year-old Brazilian ranked No. 6 in the UFC featherweight division, enters the fight with a 17-3 professional record and a 6-1 mark inside the promotion. He rebounded from his first UFC loss, a second-round TKO against Diego Lopes at Noche UFC in September 2025, with a decision victory over Arnold Allen at UFC 324. Delgado, who earned his UFC contract through Dana White's Contender Series in 2024, has gone 4-1 in the promotion, including wins over Andre Fili and Austin Bashi.
