Overview
- Brandon Moreno (125.5) and Lone'er Kavanagh (125) made weight for Saturday’s five-round flyweight main event at Arena CDMX.
- Kavanagh stepped in on short notice after Asu Almabayev withdrew with an injury, shifting the matchup in mid-February.
- Moreno is coming off a December TKO loss to Tatsuro Taira and has framed this bout as a rebound effort rather than a direct push for a title shot.
- England’s Kavanagh enters 9-1 following a knockout loss to Charles Johnson and will compete in his first UFC main event and first scheduled five-round fight.
- The card streams on Paramount+ with prelims at 5 p.m. ET and the main card at 8 p.m. ET as the UFC proceeds in Mexico City with heightened security measures.
