The winner of the UFC Fight Night 237 main event was Brandon, but not the one the Mexico City crowd in attendance hoped for.
Saturday at Mexico City Arena, Brandon Royval (16-7 MMA, 8-3 UFC) defeated former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno (21-8-2 MMA, 9-5-2 UFC) by split decision (48-47, 46-49, 48-47).
The five-round non-title affair was filled with high-volume exchanges, despite the elevation. Royval overcame a bothersome left knee, which his Factory X corner iced between rounds, to defeat Moreno with his aggression and boxing.
