Andre Fili battles Jose Delgado in the third fight of tonight’s UFC Fight Night card. Fili is a 13-year UFC veteran and has won two of his last three contests. Delgado is eight years younger, and his previous seven-fight winning streak recently came to an end against Nathaniel Wood.
Below, I break down my best bet for Andre Fili vs. Jose Delgado.
Jose Delgado To Win By KO/TKO/DQ (-120)
Before Delgado’s recent loss, he won seven straight fights by knockout or submission. All 10 victories in Delgado’s career have come by knockout or submission. In this contest, both fighters have the same height (5’11”) and standing reach (74″).
Fili has been in the UFC since 2013 and has gone 13-11 in 24 fights in the promotion. He has faced many talented opponents over his career, but has only had two two-fight win streaks in the UFC. Fili is 4-4 in his previous eight fights and hasn’t won two consecutive bouts since 2019. In his last bout, FIli beat Christian Rodriguez via split decision in August 2025.
In the UFC, Delgado is averaging 8.22 significant strikes per minute at a 54 percent rate, which is absurd. In comparison, Fili lands 3.87 significant strikes at a 37 percent clip. Fili averages 0.41 more takedowns per 15 minutes, but Delgado has a 60 percent takedown defense, which will be needed in this contest.
The veteran, Fili, is a big +360 underdog while Delgado is a -470 favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook. If both fighters spend the majority of the contest on the feet, it would be surprising if Fili found much success against Delgado. Since Delgado is a big favorite, it is best to get him -120 to win by knockout, as his previous five victories have come via KO/TKO/DQ.
