The
\nUltimate Fighting Championship<\/a> returns to Mexico for the first
\ntime in 2026 this weekend.<\/p>\n

Headlining the
\nUFC Mexico<\/a> card is a fight between former flyweight champion
\nBrandon
\nMoreno<\/a> and Lone’er
\nKavanagh<\/a>. Both men successfully made weight for the five-round
\nmain event without any issue. All other fighters on the card also
\nmade weight, so it was an uneventful weigh-in for those looking for
\ndrama.<\/p>\n

“The Assassin Baby” enters the fight looking to rebound from a TKO
\ndefeat to Tatsuro
\nTaira<\/a>. Prior to the setback, Moreno (23-9-2) had put together
\nback-to-back wins against Steve Erceg<\/a>
\nand Amir
\nAlbazi<\/a>. Just 32, the Mexican fighter will look to show that he
\nhas plenty left in the tank while impressing the fans in his home
\ncountry. Moreno officially weighed 125.5 pounds for the fight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, this is the first-ever main event for Kavanagh (9-1).
\nThe English fighter is also coming off a loss, as he was brutally
\nknocked out by Charles
\nJohnson<\/a> in his last outing. Previously undefeated, the Great
\nBritain Top Team product had picked up wins against Felipe
\ndos Santos<\/a> and Jose Ochoa<\/a>
\ninside the Octagon. The 26-year-old weighed 125 pounds on the dot
\nfor the biggest fight of his career.<\/p>\n

UFC Mexico will air in its entirety on Saturday via Paramount+. The
\nmain card starts at 8 p.m. ET\/5 p.m. PT, while the prelims kick off
\nat 5 p.m. ET\/2 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n
