Overview
- Jean Silva rallied from an early knockdown to win by third-round submission over Jose Miguel Delgado and immediately called for a featherweight title shot.
- Event officials announced an attendance of 16,928 and a live gate of $4,436,470, making this the arena’s top single-day gross.
- The UFC awarded four $100,000 fight-night bonuses to Silva, Sean King III, Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki, and reported a Promotional Guidelines Compliance payout of $244,000.
- Nine of the 13 bouts went to the judges, while standout finishes and stat milestones included Sean King III’s slam knockout and Curtis Blaydes’ divisional takedown record.
- Promoters say the card doubles as the UFC’s Mexican Independence Day celebration and marks the start of a three-year, seven-event slate in Arizona under TKO and the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance, a move that organizers expect will boost local ticket and tourism revenue.
