UFC 290 video: Brandon Moreno smiles, Alexandre Pantoja stoic in final faceoff for title rematch

LAS VEGAS – Familiar foes Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja got one last look at each other before Saturday’s UFC 290 flyweight title rematch at ceremonial weigh-ins.

Reigning champion Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-2-2 UFC) will attempt to avenge a pair of losses to Pantoja (25-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC) by defending his title in the co-main event clash, which takes place at T-Mobile Arena and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+.

Both men made weight on Friday morning for the fight, then hours later engaged in a staredown in front of fans and media at ceremonial weigh-ins.

Check out the video above to see the final pre-fight staredown between Moreno and Pantoja ahead of UFC 290.
