Brandon Moreno vs. Steve Erceg: UFC Mexico Flyweight Main Event

MMA news

This article provides live updates for the UFC Mexico flyweight main event featuring Brandon Moreno against Steve Erceg, taking place Saturday at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City.

In the MMA Fighting Global Rankings, Moreno is ranked 4th in the flyweight division, and Erceg is ranked 13th.

Moreno, a former two-time flyweight champion, has faced recent challenges. After losing his title to Alexandre Pantoja in 2023 (his third loss to Pantoja) and a subsequent defeat to Brandon Royval at UFC Mexico last year, he bounced back with a victory over Amir Albazi in November. He aims to solidify his position as a title contender with a strong performance against Erceg.

Erceg`s UFC career has been remarkable. Since joining in 2023, he quickly gained attention with a win over David Dvorak in his debut. Two more victories followed, including a notable knockout of Matt Schnell, which earned him a title shot against Pantoja in just his fourth UFC fight. However, he lost to Pantoja and then suffered a knockout loss to Kai Kara-France in August. Erceg is determined to break his two-fight losing streak by defeating Moreno.
