Fighting at UFC Houston
Del Valle will face off against Jordan Leavitt at UFC Houston on Feb. 21, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Del Valle is fresh off a victory over Isaac Dulgarian at UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on Nov. 1, improving to 10-0 as a professional fighter. His opponent is also coming off a victory, however, as Leavitt defeated Kurt Holobaugh back in May at UFC on ESPN 68.

Remains undefeated as pro
Del Valle defeated Isaac Dulgarian via submission (rear-naked choke) at 3:41 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It seems pretty clear Dulgarian was either sick or injured given the massive line movement in Del Valle's favor in the closing hours leading up to the fight. Regardless, Yadier had to go out and perform against a talented opponent, and he did just that. Del Valle worked hard to stuff Dulgarian's first and only takedown attempt, and it was smooth sailing from there. At 5-foot-9, Del Valle looks massive for featherweight, and he clearly has a clue in there despite the fact he has all of 10 professional fights under his belt. He's a name to keep an eye on moving forward.

Flawless effort in UFC debut
Del Valle defeated Connor Matthews via submission (rear-naked choke) at 2:54 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Del Valle earned his UFC contract in October despite going the distance on Dana White's Contender Series. He made his official company debut here, was given a layup, and took full advantage. Ballooning to upwards of a -600 favorite by the time the fight kicked off, Del Valle stood around for a bit before landing an easy takedown and quickly submitting the totally overmatched Matthews. The truth of the matter is that this performance, while impressive, tells us nothing about what to expect from YDV moving forward. We should get some more answers his next time out.

Official debut set
Del Valle will make his official UFC debut against Connor Matthews in a featherweight matchup at UFC Vegas 106 on May 17, Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl reports.
ANALYSIS
Del Valle earned his UFC contract with a dominant decision on Dana White's Contender Series that improved his professional record to 8-0, and he's now set for his promotion debut against a fellow DWCS product in Matthews. Matthews has gone 0-2 in official UFC fights and will likely be fighting for his job, while Del Valle -- a 28-year-old Cuban prospect with a jiu-jitsu background -- will look to get off to a strong start.
