Silva claims his victory over Jose
Delgado unfolded almost exactly as his team predicted.
Silva made a statement in his second
Ultimate Fighting Championship headliner, submitting Delgado in
the main event of
Noche UFC 4 on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Arizona. The Brazilian
later revealed that he and his team prepared specifically for the
sequence that ultimately ended the fight.

submitted Jose Delgado
Silva locked in a one-arm rear-naked choke to force the tap from
Delgado in the third round of their clash. “Lord” says his
Fighting Nerds coaches had him ready for all the threats
Delgado poses and identified the route to victory long before fight
night.
“It’s crazy to say this, but it went just as we rehearsed back at
home,” Silva said in a post-fight interview. “We knew exactly what
was going to happen, the way that he was going to charge, the
position that he was going to have and the way we were going to
finish it.”
Silva called for a title shot following his win over Delgado,
eyeing the winner of Alexander
Volkanovski vs. Movsar
Evloev, scheduled for
UFC 333.
