Jose Delgado
Career overview
Jose Delgado, an American switch-stance featherweight with an 11-2 professional record, operates as a volume striker with knockout power. Averaging 7.48 strikes landed per minute at 54% accuracy while absorbing 4.95 strikes per minute, Delgado maintains a balanced offensive output paired with a respectable 50% striking defense.
His grappling remains limited, with a 1.51 takedown average per 15 minutes at just 40% accuracy and 50% takedown defense, indicating he prefers to operate on the feet. With a knockout score of 24.8, Delgado has demonstrated finishing ability, evidenced by first-round finishes against Connor Matthews (1:58 KO/TKO) and Hyder Amil (0:26 KO/TKO) in 2025.
However, his recent form shows inconsistency: after a split-decision victory over Andre Fili in March 2026, Delgado suffered a unanimous decision loss to Nathaniel Wood in October 2025, suggesting defensive vulnerabilities against high-volume strikers. At 26 years old with a 4-1 record in his last five fights, Delgado remains a prospect in the featherweight division, though he'll need to tighten his defense and consistency to climb the rankings.
