Not their fault, it's Yair's | Noche UFC preview

Jean Silva was supposed to fight Yair Rodriguez in the main event of Noche UFC. Instead, Rodriguez pulled out and now Jean Silva is fighting 15th ranked Jose Delgado. No offense to him, Jose Delgado is a fine fighter. But he is not the kind of matchmaking we expect for Jean Silva at this point in his career.

Salahdine Parnasse is a legitimate signing, not an APEX content fighter. He's here not to fill cards but because he can be one of the best in the world, not merely a content fighter for TKO.

Dan Ho**er kicking from southpaw slowed Salahdine Parnasse down a bit early, but the Frenchman sussed that out, checked the kicks and forced Dan Ho**er to orthodox. From there it was only a matter of time...

Salahdine Parnasse isn't a geography fighter meant to sell tickets when the UFC gets over to France. He's a legitimate top ten lightweight in the world that just so happens can sell out an arena.

Dan Ho**er was tailor made for Salahdine Parnasse. Trotted out for the French to torment, Ho**er was never going to have a chance. Destiny was on Salahdine Parnasse's side.

Another option for Salahdine Parnasse that I see as likely would be Rafael Fiziev. Cool striking matchup but I could see Parnasse running away with that one.

Salahdine Parnasse forced Dan Ho**er out of that southpaw stance by denying him the low kicks. From there, Parnasse really found his best offense and finished the fight.

Salahdine Parnasse had Dan Ho**er's number from the get, even with Dan Ho**er coming out in southpaw. He checked the kicks, pressured, and then executed.

I’m not ready for Salahdine Parnasse to fight a Max Holloway next. I’d like a test like Renato Moicano, test the wrestling. But it’s more likely we get Parnasse vs Gamrot.
