Austin Bashi meets debuting Jose Miguel Delgado on a 1-1 UFC record. The featherweight bounced back from a rough start with a submission win over John Yannis in August 2025, his first Octagon victory. That result followed a unanimous-decision loss to Christian Rodriguez in January 2025 on his promotional debut. Bashi arrives at an even 1-1 with a chance to build his first UFC winning streak against a newcomer. A well-rounded prospect who can wrestle and finish on the ground, he showed poise in rebounding from the opening loss. Delgado is an unknown quantity, which puts the onus on Bashi to control the terms. He fights on the Oklahoma City preliminary card looking to move above .500 in the promotion.
