EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi are one step closer to their UFC Fight Night 246 headliner after making weight Friday.
Former champion Moreno (21-8-2 MMA, 9-4-2 UFC) returns from a self-imposed hiatus from competition when he takes on Albazi (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who is returning from some serious health issues, in a five-round bout Saturday at Rogers Place (ESPN+).
First, though, the pair had to hit the non-title flyweight limit during official weigh-ins at the UFC host hotel. Moreno was the first fighter to come to the scale during the one-hour window and was 125.5 pounds. Albazi was waiting right behind him and registered 125.5, as well.
