Two promising featherweight up-and-comers will bring the violence against one another during UFC International Fight Week.
At UFC 317, Hyder Amil and Jose Delgado will face off in a featherweight fight. The event takes place June 28 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Two people with knowledge of the matchup recently informed MMA Junkie of the booking but asked to remain anonymous because the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.
Amil (11-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has thrilled fans since his Dana White’s Contender Series appearance in 2023. His UFC victories have come against Fernie Garcia, Jeong Yeong Lee (in a wild 65-second fight), and William Gomis.
Delgado (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) competed Feb. 15 when he knocked out Connor Matthews in under three minutes in his UFC debut. The victory came on the heels of a big knee knockout vs. Ernie Juarez on Dana White’s Contender Series.
