UFC Fight Night heads to Mexico tonight and features a main card that pits a Mexican fighter against a foreigner in each of the bouts.
The main event is no different, with a rematch between Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval headlining the card.
The duo met in Nov. 2020 when Tijuana native Moreno earned a first-round TKO against his American counterpart. Now both fighters are in the UFC flyweight title picture, with Moreno having lost the belt to Alexandre Pantoja in July 2023 and Royval failing to capture the title from Pantoja five months later.
While this is a rematch with its own built-in narratives, both men will also be looking to win this match and springboard themselves into another title shot against the Brazilian champion.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Moreno vs. Royval.
