Headlining the
UFC Mexico card is a fight between former flyweight champion
Brandon
Moreno and Lone’er
Kavanagh. Both men successfully made weight for the five-round
main event without any issue. All other fighters on the card also
made weight, so it was an uneventful weigh-in for those looking for
drama.
„The Assassin Baby“ enters the fight looking to rebound from a TKO
defeat to Tatsuro
Taira. Prior to the setback, Moreno (23-9-2) had put together
back-to-back wins against Steve Erceg
and Amir
Albazi. Just 32, the Mexican fighter will look to show that he
has plenty left in the tank while impressing the fans in his home
country. Moreno officially weighed 125.5 pounds for the fight.
Meanwhile, this is the first-ever main event for Kavanagh (9-1).
The English fighter is also coming off a loss, as he was brutally
knocked out by Charles
Johnson in his last outing. Previously undefeated, the Great
Britain Top Team product had picked up wins against Felipe
dos Santos and Jose Ochoa
inside the Octagon. The 26-year-old weighed 125 pounds on the dot
for the biggest fight of his career.
UFC Mexico will air in its entirety on Saturday via Paramount+. The
main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, while the prelims kick off
at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
