Noche UFC, the mixed martial arts and fighting promotion's celebration of Latinos in the sport set for Glendale, Arizona, on Sept. 12, has adjusted its main event due to an injury.
José Delgado is in the main event of Noche UFC after Yair Rodriguez pulled out due to an injury, Rodriguez said in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Aug. 19. Delgado faces Jean Silva in a featherweight bout at Desert Diamond Arena.
Rodriguez (21-5-0) has not fought much over the past two years, and now it looks like he will have to wait until 2027 to fight again.
"I wanted this fight, and I know many of you did too," he said in Spanish on Instagram. "Now my job is to fully recover and return ready to compete at the level you expect of me and that I expect of myself."
Delgado, from Mexico, is 4-1 and has been in UFC for only about a year and a half. He made his professional MMA debut in March 2022.
