Noche UFC 4 went down last night (Sat., Sept. 12, 2026) inside Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, which saw Jean Silva defeat Jose Delgado in round three with a submission finish. In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno returned to his winning ways by defeating Joseph Morales via split decision.

Biggest Winner: Jean Silva

After getting off to a slow start that saw him get worked up in the opening round, and go the first few minutes without throwing a punch, Silva managed to turn up the heat to get a finish in the third round. It is a nice bounce-back win for "Lord," who was knocked out in his previous fight by Diego Lopes.

While impressive, the win was not against a ranked fighter, so it is unclear how much it will do for him in the rankings. That said, a win is a win and Silva got the job done and now sets himself up for a bigger fight moving forward. He can always revisit the Yair Rodriguez fight, but there is no telling what UFC matchmakers have planned.

Runners Up: Tommy McMillen and Sean King III

McMillen proved once again that he is ready to be a star for the promotion after entertaining fans in an all-out back-and-forth brawl against Makwan Rahiki. The two men went all out from the opening bell, which saw each man have their shining moments before McMillen turned it around in round three and took over the fight to lock down the unanimous decision win.

What made it even more impressive is that he was in danger in round two after getting rocked and floored by a sneaky uppercut. He weathered the storm and came out to round three like a bat out of hell, flooring Rahiki with a vicious right hand and then pummeling him for the rest of the round. He has a ton of momentum and hype behind him, and he is showing that it is all warranted. He also took home his third-straight post-fight bonus award.

As for King III, he had himself a memorable UFC debut by absolutely destroying Jessie Rosas in under a minute with a vicious slam that put him out for the count. He improves to 7-0 after making his pro debut just 17 months ago. UFC debuts do not get much better than that, especially when they come attached to a $100,000 bonus.

Biggest Losers: Jessie Rosas and Marwan Rahiki

Rosas had a forgettable UFC debut after he was knocked out in the first 36 seconds of the fight. Sean King III managed to grab a hold of him early, picking him up as high as he could before slamming him to the canvas, knocking him out cold. For Rosas, it is a huge blow after his initial debut earlier this year was scrapped. Now, he will have to take the time to get over this fight and hope that he gets another chance inside the Octagon to make a better impression.

As for Rahiki, while he did entertain and took home a $100,000 post-fight bonus check for his fight against McMillen, he will be kicking himself for a while after blowing a huge opportunity. After dropping McMillen in round two, Rahiki was unable to capitalize and finish his opponent, who was obviously a few good shots away from being out. While Rahiki did seem to try to go for the kill, the sense of urgency simply was not there. That allowed McMillen to make it to round three where he ultimately took over to secure a unanimous decision win.
