Noche UFC returns to Glendale, Arizona, on Saturday, September 12, with a six-fight main card featuring past champions, rising stars, and established contenders.
Jean Silva will face Jose Miguel Delgado, who accepted the fight on short notice as a replacement for Yair Rodiruez. The pair will headline the featherweight division in the main event, while the co-main event features previous two-time UFC champion Brandon Moreno and Joseph Morales in a flyweight contest.
In addition to base pay at Noche UFC, athletes have the opportunity to earn bonuses. A 'Performance of the Night' bonus typically adds $100,000 to their base pay, while a 'Finish' bonus awarded for a KO, TKO, or submission can earn an additional $25,000 if the athlete did not win the main bonus.
The UFC does not disclose fight purse information, but here are the estimations based on ranks, previous payouts, and matchups.
Noche UFC Fight Purse Breakdown
Jean Silva vs. Jose Delgado Fight Purse
This is not Jean Silva's first appearance at Noche UFC; he earned an estimated $226,000 to $240,000 for his main event against Diego Lopes last year. Silva is expected to recieve a base pay between $250,000 and $275,000 for this fight, a decisive win over Jose Delgado could potentially double that figure.
As an unranked athlete, Jose Delgado is likely to earn a significantly lower base pay compared to Jean Silva. Delgado is expected to earn a standard UFC base pay of $50,000. However, he has the opportunity to earn more with bonuses if he is able to upset Jean Silva. Delgado's largest payday came at UFC Vegas 114 where he earned an estimated $106,000 defeating Andre Fili.
Brandon Moreno vs. Joseph Morales Fight Purse
The former UFC champion Brandon Moreno brings the largest career earnings profile to the card. Moreno is expected to earn a base pay of $150,000 - $200,000. The most Brandon Moreno has earned from a single UFC fight is an estimated $1.44 million against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 283.
Similar to Delgado, Joseph Morales is likely to earn a standard base pay of $50,000 as an unranked opponent. His largest payday came at UFC Fight Night 114, where his debut victory over Roberto Sanchez, combined with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus, brought his total earnings to $100,000.
