Jose Delgado reflects on his submission loss to Jean Silva at
\nNoche UFC 4<\/h2>\n

Delgado (12-3) gave early hope of an upset as he dropped Silva
\n(18-3) in the first round with a clean cross-hook combo. However,
\nSilva, who had unusually low output in the first round, managed to
\nsurvive. The Brazilian started gaining momentum in the second
\nstanza as Delgado struggled to find his range, before locking in a
\nslick one-arm rear-naked choke to force a tap in the third
\nperiod.<\/p>\n

Addressing his loss to Silva at
\nNoche UFC 4<\/a>, Delgado says he enjoyed every moment of his first
\nUFC main event against an elite opponent. The featherweight
\nprospect knows he will bounce back and thanked his supporters.
\nDelgado also specifically thanked fans at the fired-up Desert
\nDiamond Arena in Glendale for making his walkout memorable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell sh*t so it goes,\u201d Delgado wrote on Instagram. \u201cDared to be
\ngreat yesterday and came up short. But man I loved every second of
\nbeing on that stage with high level opposition, that includes the
\nheartbreaking pain of failure. Pure freedom. Insert something
\ncliche about bouncing back here. Thank you to God for His guidance
\nand my village for backing me. Also thanks to everyone in that
\narena for making that walk what it was. Love yall.\u201d<\/p>\n
