Mexico’s Brandon Moreno (21-7-2 MMA, 9-4-2 UFC) finally gets to fight in front of his home fans again for the first time since September 2019. That time, his return to the UFC, was a kiss-your-sister draw with Askar Askarov. This time, Moreno will be looking to get back on track against Brandon Royval after he lost the flyweight title to Alexandre Pantoja in July 2023. The fight with Royval is a rematch, itself. Moreno knocked him out at UFC 255 in November 2020.
Brandon Royval (15-7 MMA, 5-3 UFC) is in the same boat as his opponent, Moreno: He needs to rebound from a title loss to flyweight champ Pantoja. After Pantoja beat Moreno to win the belt in July 2023, his first defense this past December was against Royval. He won a unanimous decision in a rematch from a 2021 fight that he won by submission.
Yair Rodriguez (18-4 MMA, 10-3 UFC) will try to get back on track at featherweight against former title challenger Brian Ortega (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in the co-feature. Rodriguez submitted Josh Emmett to win the interim featherweight belt a year ago, but was knocked out by Alexander Volkanovski in their title unification bout this past July. To get back in the race, he’ll have to beat the man he topped before he tapped Rodriguez: Ortega. Their first fight was a TKO win for Rodriguez when Ortega suffered a shoulder injury in July 2022. Now 19 months later, he makes his return hoping to snap a two-fight skid.
Record: 16-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC
Opponent: Denys Bondar (19-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC)
Division: Flyweight
Key wins: None
Misc.: Rodriguez had a shot at the UFCC on DWCS in 2020, but lost a decision to Jerome Rivera. Now 3.5 years and a five-fight winning streak later, he gets his shot at home.
