This bout is set for Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Meta APEX (UFC APEX) facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.
The main card starts at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT, with prelims beginning earlier at approximately 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT (broadcast on Paramount+).

Injury Report
- Andre Fili: No current injuries reported leading into this fight. Fili has a history of setbacks, including an eye injury that led to a no-contest in 2021 and a knee injury early in his career, but he appears healthy after his most recent bout in August 2025.
- Jose Miguel Delgado: No injuries noted in recent reports. Delgado has maintained a clean bill of health since entering the UFC, with his only recent setback being a decision loss rather than any physical issues.
Fighter Matchups and Breakdown
This featherweight clash pits experience against youth and finishing ability. Fili, a UFC staple since 2013, brings a wealth of Octagon time (38 professional fights) against Delgado’s relative inexperience (12 pro bouts, only three in the UFC). Both fighters stand at 5’11” with similar reaches (Fili at 74″, Delgado at 74″), setting up a potentially even striking exchange.
Fili’s orthodox stance and versatile skill set could test Delgado’s aggressive, knockout-oriented style.
| Fighter | Age | Record | Height/Reach | Stance | Fight Style Highlights |
| Andre Fili | 35 | 25-12-0 (1 NC) | 5’11” / 74″ | Orthodox | Well-rounded veteran with strong striking (9 KOs), grappling (3 subs), and cardio. Known for durability but inconsistent results lately. |
| Jose Miguel Delgado | 27 | 10-2-0 | 5’11” / 74″ | Orthodox | Power striker with 6 KOs and 4 subs. Explosive in early rounds, relies on finishing power but vulnerable in decisions. |
