Jean Silva prepares for Jose Delgado matchup at Noche UFC in Glendale

Jean Silva addresses recent public criticism from Jose Delgado ahead of their main event bout at UFC Fight Night 288. The event takes place Saturday at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Ariz. Delgado, who holds a 4-1 UFC record, replaced original opponent Yair Rodriguez after Rodriguez withdrew due to injury. Despite the change in opposition, Silva remains focused on his upcoming performance rather than Delgado's verbal attacks. Silva enters the fight with a 6-1 record inside the octagon and currently holds a 17-3 overall mark. The matchup serves as the headliner for the promotion’s Noche UFC event.
