Jean Silva closed out Noche UFC in style, submitting Jose Delgado via rear-naked choke at 2:57 of round three to cap the fourth edition of the UFC’s annual Noche series. Silva had control of the fight from the opening bell, using pressure and his high-volume striking to wear Delgado down over the first two rounds. The decisive sequence came early in the third, when a right hand from Silva dropped Delgado and changed the complexion of the fight. Delgado shot for a takedown in a desperate bid to recover, but Silva sprawled cleanly, transferred to back control in one fluid motion, and locked in the rear-naked choke. Delgado tapped at 2:57, giving Silva his 13th career finish and second straight stoppage in the UFC. The Brazilian improves to 18-3 and has now headlined Noche UFC in back-to-back years, this time delivering the finish to put himself at the front of the line in the featherweight division.

Brandon Moreno vs. Joseph Morales

Flyweight – Co-Main Event

Official Result: Brandon Moreno (24-10-2) defeats Joseph Morales (14-3) via Split Decision (30-27, 30-27, 28-29)

Moreno snapped a two-fight losing streak in a co-main event that was tighter than the official scorecards suggest. Morales came out sharp in the first round, landing a right hand that momentarily gave Moreno pause before Moreno answered with a sustained body attack. Morales also secured a takedown late in round one, though Moreno scrambled back to his feet before any real damage was done on the mat. Round two went back and forth with Morales pressing the action and mixing in another takedown attempt, which Moreno defended cleanly. The fight turned decisively in round three, where Moreno stuffed a takedown attempt and transitioned to top position, working elbows and punches from full guard for most of the final five minutes. Two of the three judges had it 30-27 for Moreno; the third scored it 29-28 for Morales in a reminder of how close the opening rounds were. Moreno moves to 24-10-2 and puts himself back in the flyweight title conversation.

Tommy McMillen vs. Marwan Rahiki

Featherweight – Main Card

Official Result: Tommy McMillen (12-0) defeats Marwan Rahiki (9-1) via Unanimous Decision

McMillen kept his undefeated record intact but had to survive a knockdown to do it. Rahiki, who promised before the fight that McMillen had never been hit by anyone like him, made good on that threat in round two with a counter uppercut that buckled McMillen’s legs and sent him to the canvas. McMillen beat the count, survived the follow-up attack, and fought his way through the rest of the round before seizing control. The wrestling that brought McMillen to prominence was on full display in rounds two and three, as he chained takedowns and ground control to the relentless forward pressure that has defined his UFC run. All three judges saw it for McMillen, who moves to 12-0 and earns a signature win over a previously undefeated prospect in one of the most competitive fights of the night.

Alexa Grasso vs. Manon Fiorot

Women’s Flyweight – Main Card

Official Result: Alexa Grasso (18-5-1) defeats Manon Fiorot (13-3) via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

In a fight the crowd came to see, Alexa Grasso showed why she belongs near the top of the women’s flyweight division. The former champion controlled the opening round emphatically, dropping Fiorot with a sharp right hook in the final minute before swarming her on the mat. Fiorot’s corner told her between rounds that she was down two rounds to none, and while the French kickboxer fought back gamely in rounds two and three with her leg kick game and left hand, she could not overcome the early deficit. Grasso kept her composure in the championship rounds, controlling the center and landing the cleaner punching throughout. All three judges had it 29-28 for Grasso, who advances to a title eliminator clash at UFC 332.

Curtis Blaydes vs. Waldo Cortes-Acosta

Heavyweight – Main Card

Official Result: Curtis Blaydes (20-6) defeats Waldo Cortes-Acosta (17-4) via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Blaydes and Cortes-Acosta produced a grinding heavyweight affair that left the crowd wanting more in the way of fireworks. Blaydes controlled the grappling exchanges in the early rounds, repeatedly working for takedowns and grinding out positional work against the fence, while Cortes-Acosta looked to generate power with uppercuts on the break. The fight was close enough that the 29-28 scores across all three cards reflected competitive rounds throughout, but Blaydes’s wrestling and volume work gave him the edge in the judges’ eyes. The result may leave the heavyweight contender picture muddled, though Blaydes earns a win over a physical specimen who gave him real problems standing.

David Martinez vs. Dan Ige

Bantamweight – Main Card

Official Result: David Martinez (15-1) defeats Dan Ige (19-12) via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Martinez made it four-and-oh in the UFC with a performance that put the bantamweight division on notice. The Mexican striker kept the fight standing and chopped Ige’s lead leg apart with repeated kicks in rounds one and two, gradually slowing Ige’s movement before pouring on clean combinations in the third. Ige, transitioning from featherweight, showed heart in trying to close the distance throughout, but Martinez’s footwork and timing denied him consistent entries. All three judges had it clearly for Martinez, who figures to be in title contention soon.

Tim Elliott vs. Edgar Chairez

Catchweight (130 lbs) – Featured Prelim

Official Result: Tim Elliott (22-14-1) defeats Edgar Chairez (14-7) via Decision (Round 3, 5:00)

Elliott lived up to his reputation as a human highlight reel, engaging Chairez in three rounds of relentless exchanges at the featured prelim catchweight of 130 pounds. The Monster pressed the pace from the opening bell, mixing wrestling with sharp counter-punching to neutralize the Mexican pressure fighter’s forward momentum. Chairez, who described himself as the toughest opponent Elliott has ever faced after the final horn, made him work for every moment of the scorecard, landing heavy shots in the pocket and threatening with takedowns throughout. Elliott weathered the storms and held the cleaner work across all three rounds to earn the decision win, improving to 22-14-1 and snapping a two-fight skid.

Ignacio Bahamondes vs. Muslim Salikhov

Welterweight – Prelims

Official Result: Ignacio Bahamondes (19-7) defeats Muslim Salikhov (22-7) via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)

Bahamondes controlled the distance throughout a technical chess match, using well-timed kicks and combinations to neutralize Salikhov’s spinning attacks. The Chilean fighter made his welterweight debut in dominant fashion, pressing Salikhov to the cage and landing cleaner punches in the pocket as the fight wore on. All three judges agreed, awarding Bahamondes the unanimous decision and snapping a two-fight losing skid.

Yousri Belgaroui vs. Djorden Santos

Middleweight – Prelims

Official Result: Yousri Belgaroui (11-3) defeats Djorden Santos (11-4) via TKO (Punches) (Round 1, 4:25)

Belgaroui used his 6’6″ frame and 79-inch reach to control the range throughout, picking Santos apart with leg kicks and body shots before a well-timed jab in the closing minutes of round one dropped him. Belgaroui swarmed the wobbled Santos with a pair of overhand rights that sent him to the canvas, earning the TKO stoppage at 4:25. The Boogeyman extends his winning streak to six and puts the middleweight division on notice.

Picked him apart 😮‍💨 Yousri Belgaroui continues to prove he is the real deal with another finish in RD1!

Rafa Garcia vs. Rong Zhu

Lightweight – Prelims

Official Result: Rong Zhu (29-6) defeats Rafa Garcia (19-5) via Unanimous Decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Rong Zhu controlled the fight with his jab and range management, keeping Garcia on the outside and negating the pressure style that has defined Garcia’s UFC career. Garcia, who came in with a cut above his eye in the first round, could not find the sustained grappling exchanges he needed; Zhu’s footwork and counter-striking kept the bout standing and on his terms across all three rounds. All three judges scored it 29-28 for Zhu, who improves to 29-6 and immediately called out a top-15 opponent post-fight.

Official Result: Sean King III (7-0) defeats Jessie Rosas (8-2) via KO (slam) (Round 1, 0:36)

King wasted no time in his UFC debut, locking up a bodylock and delivering a devastating slam that left Rosas unconscious inside the first minute. The referee intervened after three additional ground strikes landed at 0:36 of round one. Rosas, the brother of UFC bantamweight Raul Rosas Jr., had no answer for King’s explosive power; the unbeaten prospect moves to 7-0 and announced himself to the featherweight division in violent fashion.

Tarin moves to 9-0 and immediately enters the women’s flyweight conversation as one to watch.
