The matchup originally featured a five-round bout against former interim champion Yair Rodriguez before Delgado stepped in as a late substitution. In addition to addressing his pre-fight health, Silva also spoke on recent controversies surrounding the bout. Following the conclusion of the contest, allegations circulated suggesting that Silva had slapped Delgado inside the cage. The Brazilian fighter has formally denied these claims, asserting that no such physical altercation occurred following the stoppage.

The revelation provides further context to his performance, as he managed to overcome both a change in opponent and physical setbacks to maintain his momentum in the featherweight rankings.
