Brandon Moreno’s career in the UFC could not be described as anything less than an outrageous success. The two-time former flyweight champion has reached the highest of highs, been a part of history and been one of the key figures behind MMA’s boom in Mexico.
When it comes to competing on his home soil, however, that’s a part of Moreno’s UFC career he probably wants to forget about. He’s winless in three octagon appearances in Mexico, going 0-2-1, with the two defeats being in main events against Sergio Pettis and Brandon Royval.
On Saturday, however, Moreno (22-8-2 MMA, 10-4-2 UFC) gets the chance to turn the narrative in his favor. He’s positioned in another headlining spot at UFC on ESPN 64, this time against Steve Erceg (12-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) at Arena CDMX in Mexico City (ESPN2, ESPN+).
