The Brazilian is chasing redemption after Diego Lopes stopped him in last year's Noche UFC headliner. Silva rebounded with a decision over Arnold Allen in January and now looks to reenter the 145-pound title mix against Delgado, who joined the UFC through Contender Series in 2024 and has gone 4-1 in the cage since.

Moreno Returns In Co-Main Event

Former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno faces Joseph Morales in the co-main event, with both fighters weighing 125.5 pounds. Moreno is riding a two-fight skid and needs a win to halt the slide. Morales won The Ultimate Fighter 33 and steps up as a live underdog.
