Fighting early in 2026
Delija will face Serghei Spivac in a heavyweight matchup at UFC 325 on Jan. 31, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Delija has been kill-or-be-killed through two UFC fights, as he finished Marcin Tybura in the first round in his September debut but followed that up with a first-round loss to Waldo Cortes Acosta two months later. He now draws Spivac, a veteran with a wrestling-based attack who has fallen on tough times lately, dropping back-to-back fights. Both men stack up identically in terms of height and reach.

Finished in strange ending
Delija lost to Waldo Cortes-Acosta via KO (punches) at 3:59 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
This one will be talked about for a while. Delija pinned Cortes-Acosta along the fence a little over three minutes into the fight and unloaded with everything but the kitchen sink. Referee Mark Smith eventually stepped in, and Delija appeared to have won. Waldo complained about an eye poke during the sequence, and upon review, it was confirmed. The fight was eventually restarted and Delija was knocked out just seconds later. It was just Delija's second UFC fight, so the setback isn't the end of the world, but at age 35, he simply cannot afford to be giving away any fights.

Will fight Cortes-Acosta
Delija will fight Waldo Cortes-Acosta at UFC Vegas 110 on Nov. 1, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Delija is coming off a debut win against Marcin Tybura in September via TKO (punches). His opponent, Cortes-Acosta, is coming off a loss against Sergei Pavlovich in August, but he had won his previous five bouts.

Shines in UFC debut
Delija defeated Marcin Tybura via TKO (punches) at 2:03 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
A member of the PFL roster since 2021, Delija signed with the UFC in June and made his company debut here against Tybura. He wasted zero time in making an immediate impact. Delija isn't a technical fighter and his durability is questionable, but the power is real and he can end a fight in an instant if his opposition doesn't bother to slow down his forward advancements which Tybura failed to do this evening. Delija is 35 years old already and his inconsistent results late in his PFL run suggest he may have some problems stringing together victories at the highest level, but this was a good start.

Slated for UFC debut
Delija will face Marcin Tybura in a heavyweight bout at UFC Paris on Sept. 6, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Delija will make his UFC debut against an opponent who is 14-8 in the promotion and is coming off two straight victories. This fight will be a tall order for the new signee, but Delija did have a UFC bout scheduled in 2020 that was ultimately cancelled, so this has been a long time coming for the Croatian.
