At UFC 317, featherweight Jose Miguel Delgado defeated Hyder Amil in a stunning 26 seconds with a knee strike followed by ground and pound, marking a significant milestone in his career. Post-fight, he expressed his desire to establish his identity in the division, emphasizing that he belongs among the elite fighters. Looking ahead to Noche UFC, Delgado expressed eagerness to fight William Gomis, whose recent bout he admires for its technicality. He remains enthusiastic about the event's new location in San Antonio, Texas, where he hopes to perform.
I wanted everybody to know who I was. I wanted the division to know, I wanted the real ones to know that I'm a real one.
I belong in this top elite, I'm of a certain class, I want to showcase that every time. You don't want to fight me, you don't belong in there with me anyways. I want to fight real ones.
When it was Guadalajara I was so excited. I'm still so excited I have so much family in Texas.
William Gomis and Hyder Amil had a barnburner of a fight. He's a super technical, long, French striker southpaw. Pretty clever.
