Yair Rodriguez to Face Jean Silva at Noche UFC 4

Yair Rodriguez is set to headline Noche UFC 4 against Jean Silva on September 12 in Glendale, Arizona, marking his return to the octagon after more than a year away from competition.

Rodriguez last fought in April 2025, where he secured a unanimous decision victory over Patricio Pitbull at UFC 314. This win ended a two-fight losing streak for Rodriguez. Silva, on the other hand, is coming off a decision win against Arnold Allen in January and has gained recognition for his finishing ability, with notable stoppage victories since joining the UFC.

This matchup is significant for the featherweight division, as a victory for Silva could elevate him as a contender, especially following his previous main event experience at Noche UFC 3. The event will also feature other notable fighters, including former champions Alexa Grasso and Brandon Moreno, with the full fight card yet to be finalized.
