Noche UFC: Silva vs. Delgado Picks & Bets (2026)
Tommy McMillen (-142) vs. Marwan Rahiki (+120)
The fourth fight on the main card is a featherweight bout between Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki. Both fighters are undefeated and high-level prospects. McMillen is 11-0 as a professional and 2-0 in the UFC after earning a contract on Dana White's Contender Series (DWCS) in 2025. He has two consecutive knockout victories in 2026 over Manolo Zecchini and Alberto Montes.
Rahiki earned a contract via DWCS a month after McMillen. He is 9-0 as a professional and 2-0 in the UFC. He has two knockout victories in 2026 over Harry Hardwick and Ollie Schmid.
Rahiki is a slick, fast striker. He takes a lot of risks, though. He got dropped twice on DWCS, but eventually got the knockout in the second round. McMillen is not as reckless and throws a lot of punches. His cardio is legit, and he does not stop for three rounds. He landed 252 significant strikes in his last bout. That is the fourth-most all-time.
McMillen averages 13.54 significant strikes and absorbs 4.96 significant strikes per minute. He lands with 50% accuracy and defends 59% of opponents' strikes. Rahiki's stats are nearly as impressive, but they show how much punishment he takes. He averages 7.75 significant strikes and absorbs 5.90 significant strikes per minute, while landing with 52% accuracy and defending 57% of significant strikes.
McMillen also has a strong wrestling base as a three-time high school state champion. He can mix things up if he has to, but I expect this matchup to be a brawl. Rahiki and McMillen are violent fighters, so it will come down to who can take it better or gets hit less.
This is the most exciting matchup on the card and should be fun while it lasts. Both men are undefeated for a reason, but one of them is most likely (pending a draw) leaving with their first loss. I like McMillen's pressure and relentlessness in getting the win and staying undefeated.
Bet: Tommy McMillen (-142 at DraftKings Sportsbook)
Brandon Moreno (+102) vs. Joseph Morales (-124)
Brandon Moreno is putting his No. 8 ranking on the line against unranked Joseph Morales in the flyweight division. The former champion, Moreno, is on a losing skid but has faced some of the best fighters on the planet. Lone'er Kavanagh beat him via decision in February, and Tatsuro Taira knocked him out in December. He beat Steve Erceg and Amir Albazi via unanimous decision before that.
Joseph Morales is facing an extremely experienced and talented fighter in his sixth UFC bout. He is 15-2 as a professional, but his UFC career did not start well. He has had a unique career in the promotion. Morales debuted in 2017, submitting Robert Sanchez. He lost to Deiveson Figueiredo, who later became a UFC champion, by knockout, and to Eric Shelton by decision in 2018.
Morales, 32, was released from the UFC in 2019 and had a long layoff due to elbow and shoulder injuries. He returned to win The Ultimate Fighter Season 33 in 2025. He followed it with a first-round submission victory over Matt Schnell in November.
Moreno is far more experienced than Morales. This is a tremendously tough matchup for Morales, even though Moreno lost his last two bouts. He fought Kavanagh on short notice (Moreno's original opponent pulled out due to injury), and it was an awful matchup for him. Morales presents a better matchup.
Moreno offers more volume on the feet and is a better grappler. Morales defends only 26% of takedowns and is a solid pressure grappler. He averages three submissions attempted per 15 minutes. This is a big leap in competition, and Moreno is too good for Morales. Moreno can control the octagon and stay on his feet to get the win via decision.
Bet: Brandon Moreno (+102 at FanDuel Sportsbook)
