The Noche UFC Weigh In Results are official ahead of Saturday’s event at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. All 26 fighters successfully made weight, keeping all 13 scheduled fights intact for the special Mexican Independence Day card. Jean Silva and Jose Miguel Delgado also cleared the scale ahead of their featherweight main event.
Noche UFC Weigh In Results: Main Event
Jean Silva weighed 145 pounds for his main event against Jose Miguel Delgado, who came in at 145.5 pounds. Both fighters were comfortably within the 146-pound non-title featherweight limit, meaning their highly anticipated matchup is officially set.
Silva enters the fight as the No. 6-ranked UFC featherweight with a 17-3-0 professional record. He has won six of his seven UFC appearances and is looking to build on his unanimous decision victory over Arnold Allen earlier this year. A strong performance could put the Brazilian back into the conversation around the top of the division.
Delgado owns a 12-2-0 record and a 4-1 UFC record after stepping into the main event on short notice. He replaced Yair Rodriguez after Rodriguez withdrew from the bout, giving Delgado an unexpected opportunity to headline a major UFC event in his home state.
The ceremonial weigh-ins also produced one of the most memorable images of fight week. Silva appeared wearing elaborate sugar skull face paint before facing Delgado, adding his own visual twist to an event built around Mexican Independence Day celebrations.
Brandon Moreno vs Joseph Morales Also Set
Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and The Ultimate Fighter 33 winner Joseph Morales both weighed 125.5 pounds for their co-main event. The two fighters therefore cleared the scale without any complications ahead of their important flyweight contest.
Moreno enters the matchup with a 23-10-2 record and is looking to stop a two-fight losing streak. The former champion remains one of the biggest names in the division, but another defeat would make his route back toward title contention much more difficult.
Morales owns a 15-2-0 record and has quickly established himself as one of the division’s more interesting rising fighters. Defeating Moreno would give Morales the biggest win of his UFC career and could accelerate his move toward the rankings.
Fiorot and Grasso Make Weight
Manon Fiorot and former UFC women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso also successfully made weight for one of the card’s most important fights. Fiorot came in at 125 pounds, while Grasso matched her at 125 pounds.
Fiorot enters with a 13-2-0 record and remains one of the leading contenders at 125 pounds. Grasso, meanwhile, has a 17-5-1 record and brings championship experience into the matchup.
The fight could have major consequences for the women’s flyweight title picture. Both fighters need a convincing victory if they want to strengthen their position among the division’s leading contenders.
McMillen vs Rahiki Adds Prospect Intrigue
Undefeated featherweights Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki also cleared the scale ahead of their main-card meeting. McMillen weighed 145 pounds, while Rahiki was listed at the featherweight limit for the matchup.
McMillen owns an 11-0-0 record and has quickly attracted attention after beginning his UFC career with two wins. His latest victory came against Alberto Montes at UFC Oklahoma City, where he earned a third-round stoppage.
Rahiki enters with a 9-0-0 record and has also built his reputation around an aggressive finishing style. The matchup is particularly interesting because both fighters remain unbeaten, giving the winner an opportunity to become a much bigger name in the featherweight division.
The tension between the two prospects was already visible during ceremonial weigh-ins. Their faceoff became heated and security intervened after the confrontation escalated.

Cortes-Acosta vs Blaydes Ready for Heavyweight Clash
Waldo Cortes-Acosta and Curtis Blaydes are also officially set for their heavyweight matchup. The fight features two established UFC heavyweights and could have significant consequences for the division’s rankings.
Cortes-Acosta owns a 17-3-0 record and has nine knockout victories. The Dominican heavyweight has won eight of his last 10 fights and is looking to rebound from his unanimous decision loss to Alexander Volkov in May.
Blaydes enters with a 19-6-0 record and one no contest. The former title challenger remains a dangerous wrestler and heavyweight contender, although he needs a win to rebuild momentum after recent setbacks.
David Martinez vs Dan Ige Also Official
David Martinez and Dan Ige both successfully made weight for their bantamweight contest. Martinez weighed 135 pounds, while Ige came in at 135.5 pounds, keeping another important main-card matchup intact.
Martinez owns a 14-1-0 record and has emerged as an intriguing rising talent. Ige brings a 19-11-0 record and years of UFC experience into the matchup, making this a classic prospect-versus-veteran test.
For Martinez, beating an established UFC name could provide another major step forward. Ige, meanwhile, has the experience to make the younger fighter work for every minute of the contest.
Noche UFC Preliminary Card Weigh-In Results
The preliminary card also produced a clean set of weigh-ins, although Tim Elliott vs Edgar Chairez was changed to a 130-pound catchweight. Both fighters weighed exactly 130 pounds, allowing the bout to remain on the card.
