The
Ultimate Fighting Championship’s return to Alberta, Canada, is
now official after the
UFC Fight Night 246 weigh-ins.
Sitting atop the 14-fight card is a flyweight main event between
Brandon
Moreno and Amir Albazi.
Both men weighed 125.5 pounds and are ready for a five-round scrap.
The 26 other fighters on the card also successfully made weight for
their bouts, so the card will continue as planned.
Moreno (21-8-2) is hoping to break a two-fight losing streak after
back-to-back split decision losses to Brandon
Royval and Alexandre
Pantoja. The former champ has previously beat Kai
Kara-France and rival Deiveson
Figueiredo before the current skid. Just 30 years of age, „The
Assassin Baby“ will look to show that he’s still an improving
fighter.
Meanwhile, this is the second main event fight for Albazi (17-1). „The Prince“ is riding a six-fight win streak that includes
victories over Kara-France and Alessandro
Costa. The Iraqi fighter will attempt to become a title
contender with a victory.
UFC Fight Night 246 will air in its entirety on ESPN+ on Saturday.
Prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at
8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
