Moreno vs. Kavanagh: UFC Mexico Flyweight Clash

Two-time UFC champion Brandon Moreno faces unranked replacement fighter Lone'er Kavanagh in Saturday's flyweight main event at UFC Mexico in Mexico City.

Brandon Moreno (23-9-2), ranked No. 7 at 125 pounds, returns to action following his first career knockout loss. The Mexican champion faces off against Lone'er Kavanagh (9-1), a 26-year-old Englishman stepping in on short notice as a replacement for injured Asu Almabayev.

Moreno is looking to rebound from a 2-3 slump, while Kavanagh seeks to bounce back from his first career defeat to Charles Johnson. The winner could significantly impact the flyweight rankings at Saturday's event at Arena CDMX in Mexico City.
