UFC Returns to Mexico in 2024
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to make its highly anticipated return to Mexico in 2024. This event will bring one of Mexico’s biggest names in mixed martial arts, former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno, back to his home country.
Moreno, with a record of 21-7-2, last fought in Mexico in 2019, where he had a split draw against Askar Askarov. Since then, he has climbed to the top of the flyweight division with two victories over Deiveson Figueiredo.
On February 24, Moreno is scheduled to face fellow contender Amir Albazi (17-1) in Mexico City. This matchup was first reported by Carlos Contreras Legaspi of ESPN Deportes and later confirmed by Marcel Dorff of Eurosport Nederland. The fight will serve as the co-headliner and will be a five-round bout.
The stakes are high for Moreno and Albazi as they both have their sights set on the flyweight championship. Moreno previously held the title but lost it to Alexandre Pantoja in a split decision at UFC 290. Albazi, on the other hand, has a perfect 5-0 record in the UFC and is coming off a win against Kai Kara-France.
This fight between Moreno and Albazi is expected to be a potential flyweight title eliminator, with the winner earning a shot at the championship. Albazi will aim to spoil Moreno’s homecoming and solidify his claim for a title shot.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting event as the date approaches.
