Jose
\nDelgado<\/a> believes Jean Silva<\/a>
\nis hiding his real personality.<\/p>\n

Delgado (12-2) and Silva (17-3) will headline the
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a>\u2019s fourth edition of Noche UFC on
\nSept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Silva was
\noriginally scheduled to fight Yair
\nRodriguez<\/a>, who pulled out due to an injury. Following
\nRodriguez\u2019s withdrawal, Delgado stepped up and recently slammed his
\nupcoming opponent, calling his persona inauthentic.<\/p>\n

Jose Delgado attacks Jean Silva\u2019s persona ahead of Noche UFC
\n4<\/h2>\n

Delgado is high in confidence going into
\nNoche UFC 4<\/a>. He recently claimed that beating Silva puts him in
\ntitle contention, setting him up for the winner of
\nUFC 333<\/a>\u2019s featherweight championship main event between current
\nchamp Alexander
\nVolkanovski<\/a> and unbeaten challenger Movsar
\nEvloev<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect violence. I expect to break this guy,\u201d Delgado told Ariel
\nHelwani. \u201cI expect a freaking stunner of a KO\u2026 If Jean Silva took
\nout Yair Rodriguez, he\u2019d be fighting for the title after Volk and
\nMovsar fight. Why wouldn\u2019t I steal that spotlight? Why wouldn\u2019t I
\nsteal that opportunity?\u201d<\/p>\n

Silva has a quirky personality, as he often barks like a dog.
\nDelgado believes the Brazilian is a coward who is hiding behind the
\nmask of a loud persona. He plans to let \u201cLord\u201d bark all he wants
\nbefore he gets put down.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is an illusion for him, man\u2026 He\u2019s a coward,\u201d Delgado added. \u201cHe
\nneeds that mask to make himself feel good. It\u2019s a disguise, and
\nit\u2019s a farce. I don\u2019t respect it. I think it\u2019s cowardly. I will put
\nhim down like a dog. [Before] you just let the dog bark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delgado is 4-1 in the UFC and coming off wins over Andre Fili<\/a>
\nand Austin
\nBashi<\/a>. Meanwhile, Silva is 6-1 in the UFC with five knockouts
\nand his only loss coming against two-time title challenger Diego
\nLopes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
