Hyder Amil vs Jose Miguel Delgado Preview
Amil, nicknamed “The Hurricane,” brings a blend of power, volume striking, and wrestling ability into the octagon. He boasts 6 KOs, 1 submission, and 4 decision wins, entering this fight at 11-0. His UFC career features two knockout wins and a split decision over William Gomis in his most recent fight. He averages 6.84 significant strikes per minute, while his solid takedown defense allows him to keep fights standing where he is most comfortable.
Delgado, 27, is nearly equally dangerous. He holds 5 KOs and 4 submissions, but one decision loss before his arrival in UFC serves as his only blemish. With a height and reach advantage, it will be interesting to see if Delgado can win striking exchanges against a better overall striker. But Delgado’s wrestling is sharper, meaning he can force the fight to the mat and maintain top control or threaten submissions if he imposes his style on the fight.
This bout will likely see Delgado trying to impose his wrestling and control with heavy top pressure, while Amil looks to keep it standing, create angles from his switch stance, and land volume strikes to slow Delgado down.

Hyder Amil vs Jose Miguel Delgado Prediction
This fight is set to begin with Delgado pushing forward, utilizing his reach and wrestling to force takedown attempts. Amil’s takedown defense should limit sustained ground control. On the feet, Amil’s superior accuracy and aggressive pace will gradually outwork Delgado, who strikes with less volume and efficiency.
In round one, Delgado may grab early control, but he is unlikely to dominate. By round two, Amil’s volume should begin to make a difference, opening Delgado for counters and possibly a late TKO. If Delgado draws into clinch-heavy exchanges early, Amil’s switch stance counters and wrestling defense will frustrate Delgado and make his takedowns less effective.
Given Amil’s finishing ability and Delgado’s potential fatigue from the pace of this fight, I think we see a win for Amil, either through a late TKO or a unanimous decision. A long, competitive fight benefits his style more than a short wrestling clinic benefits Delgado.
