Noche UFC played host to what will go down as one of the most entertaining non-numbered cards of 2026.

In the main event, Jean Silva continued his win streak by dismantling late-replacement opponent Jose Delgado, while former flyweight gold standard Brandon Moreno got right back on track with his own triumph over Ultimate Fighter Champion Joseph Morales.  

Check out some of the most interesting post-event facts about the main card fighters of Noche UFC down below.

Noche UFC: David Martínez def. Dan Ige

David Martínez

Martinez' win over Ige is his 11th in a row, as well as his fourth straight in the UFC since making his debut in the promotion in 2025. He has so far in his company tenure outstruck every single opponent he has faced inside the Octagon.

He was only one of three fighters to have competed at Noche UFC 3 and Noche UFC 4, the others being Rafa García and Jean Silva.

Dan Ige

Ige's loss to Martinez is his third in a row, as well as his first defeat at bantamweight. He has not won a fight since knocking out Sean Woodson at UFC 314 back in April of 2025.

He is now 1-5 in his last six contests.

Noche UFC: Curtis Blaydes def. Waldo Cortes-Acosta

Curtis Blaydes

Blaydes' win over Cortes-Acosta served as his return to the win column after losing to Josh Hokit this past April at UFC 327. It also marked the most takedowns he has landed in a bout (4) since his match with Alexander Volkov at UFC on ESPN 11 back in 2020, where he recorded 14.

He has now won seven times as a professional by decision

Waldo Cortes-Acosta

Cortes-Acosta's loss to Blaydes was his second in a row after falling to Alexander Volkov at UFC 328 back in May. He now enters the first multi-fight losing skid of his professional journey.

He has now lost four times via the judge’s scorecards.

Noche UFC:  Alexa Grasso def. Manon Fiorot

Alexa Grasso

Grasso's win over Fiorot is her second consecutive victory after toppling Maycee Barber at UFC Fight Night 271 back in March. The victory was a confirmed UFC women’s flyweight title eliminator. She is now 2-1 in her post-championship run and 2-2-1 in her last five fights.

Manon Fiorot

Fiorot's loss to Grasso served as her first setback at a non-numbered UFC event, as well as her second in her last four bouts. The knockdown she suffered in the contest also marked her second since her meeting Valentina Shevchenko in May of last year. Her appearance at Noche UFC will go down as possibly her only company scrap of 2026.

Noche UFC: Tommy McMillen def. Marwan Rahiki

Tommy McMillen

McMillen's win over Rahiki extended his current win streak to 12 in a row. It also marked his third in a row since making his Octagon debut back in April. He has now recorded over 70 significant strikes in all of his UFC fights. He has also earned three consecutive post-bout bonuses, including two Fight of the Night and one Performance bonus.

Marwan Rahiki

Rahiki's loss to McMillen is the first setback of his UFC and professional career. It was the first loss of his mixed martial arts journey since his final amateur tilt back in 2023. His fight at Noche UFC is his first professional contest that went the distance.

Noche UFC: Brandon Moreno def. Joseph Morales

Brandon Moreno

Moreno's win over Morales is his first victory since March 2025 after besting Steve Erceg at UFC on ESPN 64, ending a previous two-fight losing streak

The Morales triumph was the first time that Moreno had won a bout by split decision since his victory over Ryan Benoit in his second-ever UFC appearance in 2016.

Joseph Morales

Morales' loss to Moreno was the end of his previous five-fight winning streak, as well as his first setback in the UFC since the last match of his first stint in the promotion back in 2018. Coincidentally, that scrap also resulted him losing a split decision.

He is now 1-1 in UFC co-main events.

Noche UFC: Jean Silva def. Jose Miguel Delgado

Jean Silva

Silva's win over Delgado is his second successive  win, as well as the first submission victory of his professional tenure since tapping out Bryce Mitchell at UFC 314. It's also his third Performance of the Night bonus.

His UFC record now stands at 7-1.

Jose Delgado

Delgado's loss to Silva was the second defeat of his UFC tenure, ending his previous two-fight win streak. It also was the first submission setback of his mixed martial arts career, both professional and amateur.

He is now 2-2 in his last four fights.
