Ex-champ Brandon Moreno to fight Amir Albazi in Mexico City​

Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will fight Amir Albazi in a flyweight contender bout Feb. 24 in Mexico City, Moreno confirmed in an interview published Wednesday by ESPN. The five-round bout will serve as the co-main event on the UFC Fight Night card, which will be the promotion's first trip to Mexico since 2019. ESPN has Moreno ranked No. 2 in the world at flyweight and Albazi at No. 4. Moreno (21-7-2) is a former two-time UFC flyweight champion and the first-ever Mexican-born UFC champ. The Tijuana native dropped the title in a close split decision to Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 290 in July. Moreno, 29, was on a two-fight winning streak before the loss to Pantoja.

Moreno will also act as the official backup for the UFC 296 co-main event Dec. 16 in Las Vegas, sources told ESPN, confirming news first reported by Eurosport Netherland. Alexandre Pantoja will defend the UFC flyweight title against Brandon Royyal, and if either competitor is forced to withdraw, then Moreno will step in and compete. Albazi (17-1) has won six in a row, most recently a split decision win over Kaj Kara-France in June. The Iraq native is a perfect 5-0 in the UFC. Albazi, 30, previously won titles in Ultimate Challenge MMA and FightStar Championship.

Sources: Curtis Blaydes-Jailton Almeida clash set for UFC 299​

A big heavyweight rebooking is coming in the first quarter of next year, as Curtis Blaydes will face Jailton Almeida at UFC 299, sources confirmed with ESPN on Tuesday. Sources said the bout has been signed, though the UFC has yet to make it official. UFC 299 does not have an official date or location set yet, but it will take place in March. ESPN has Blaydes ranked No. 5 and Almeida ranked No. 8 in the world at heavyweight. The two were supposed to fight Nov. 4 in the main event of UFC Sao Paulo, but Blaydes withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Derrick Lewis.

Blaydes (17-4, 1 NC) is coming off a knockout loss to Serger Paviovich in April. The Chicago-area native was on a three-fight winning streak prior to that bout. Blaydes, 32, has lost only to power punchers Pavlovich, Francis Ngannou and Lewis in his seven-year UFC career.

Almeida (20-2) has won 15 in a row, including his first six in the UFC. The Brazil native is coming off a unanimous decision win over Lewis last month. The 32-year-old had never gone to a decision before in his 11-year career.
