Noche UFC Post Show: Reaction To Jean Silva’s Big Win, Tommy McMillen’s Rise
Jean Silva is back in the mix at 145 pounds. On Saturday, Silva headlined the fourth iteration of Noche UFC, taking on Jose Miguel Delgado in the main event in Glendale, Arizona. And while he was slow to start, Silva was quick to finish, dropping Delgado in the third round and then tapping him with a one-armed rear-naked choke. Afterward, Silva called for the winner of the upcoming Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev title fight, but will he get it? Following Noche UFC, MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew (and Alexander K. Lee for a brief moment) chopped it up about Silva’s impressive performance and what that portends for his future. Jed then also discussed Brandon Moreno’s win over Joseph Morales in the co-main event, the rise of Tommy McMillen as a new star, Alexa Grasso’s return to form, and the rest of the action from Glendale.
