Headlining the event is a flyweight main event featuring former
titleholder Brandon
Moreno going up against Steve
Erceg. Both men successfully made weight for the fight, which
could have major implications for the division moving forward. As
for the rest of the card, the only fighter to miss weight was
Ronaldo
Rodriguez, who came in a pound over the flyweight limit for his
fight against Kevin
Borjas. As a result, Rodriguez will be fined 20% of his
purse.
Moreno (22-8-2) got back into the win column in his last outing
after winning a unanimous decision over Amir Albazi.
Prior to the win, „The Assassin Baby“ had lost his title to
Alexandre
Pantoja via split decision and lost another splitter to
Brandon
Royval. At just 31, the Mexican has plenty left in the tank and
stepped on the scale weighing 125 pounds on the dot.
Meanwhile, Australia’s Erceg is in a fight he must win if he hopes
to stay at the top of the flyweight division. „Astro Boy“ has
dropped two in a row, losing a unanimous decision to Pantoja and
then getting finished by Kai
Kara-France in under a round. Erceg (12-3) is just 29 years
old, so the best might be yet to come. The Wilkes Martial Arts
fighter also stepped on the scale at 125 pounds.
UFC Mexico will air in its entirety on ESPN+ and ESPN2 on Saturday.
Its prelims kick off at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT, while the main card
starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
