Battling Wood in October
Delgado will take on Nathaniel Wood at UFC 321 in the United Arab Emirates on October 25, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Delgado will head into the bout riding a seven-fight win streak across promotions dating back to 2023. The 5-foot-11 American will take advantages in both height and reach into the bout compared to the older Englishman. With his only professional loss coming via decision, Delgado will certainly be hoping to end this one early whether by submission or KO, though he will have to remain wary of Wood's abilities, given his balanced professional record across finishes.

Instant win at UFC 317
Delgado defeated Hyder Amil via KO (knee) at 0:26 of Round 1 at UFC 317 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Delgado was extremely impressive in his UFC debut in February, scoring a knockout win over Connor Matthews in just under three minutes. He was facing a much better opponent here in Amil and looked even more impressive. Delgado fired off a wild combination that didn't really land, but he followed it up with a knee up the middle that turned Amil's lights out in an instant. One follow-up shot later and referee Marc Goddard was pulling the plug. We'll have to see how Delgado fares as he climbs the rankings, but the 27-year-old MMA Lab product could not be off to a better start with the company.

Shines in UFC debut
Delgado defeated Connor Matthews via KO (punches) at 2:58 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Delgado was given a layup in his official UFC debut, and to his credit, he took full advantage. Entering as a -550 favorite, Jose gave up a pair of early takedowns before quickly working his way back to his feet. He connected with a beautiful spinning back fist before dropping Matthews with a massive right hand. A few follow-up shots later, and this one was over. A massive featherweight at 5-foot-11, Delgado, who gets elite training everyday at the MMA Lab in Arizona, looks like a quality prospect to keep an eye on moving forward.
