The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) returns to Mexico City for the third straight year, continuing its strong connection with Mexican fans. UFC Fight Night 268 also marks the promotion’s first visit to Mexico under its new Paramount broadcast era, adding extra significance to Saturday night’s event. Headlining the card is Mexican icon Brandon Moreno, a former two-time flyweight champion and one of the most popular fighters in the country. Moreno was originally scheduled to face Asu Almabayev in the main event. However, Almabayev was forced to withdraw due to injury, prompting a late change at the top of the card.


Stepping in on just two weeks’ notice is Lone’er Kavanagh, who brings a 2–1 UFC record into a high-pressure matchup against the hometown hero. The bout now serves as a major opportunity for Kavanagh and a crucial test for Moreno as he looks to reestablish himself in the title picture.


This event marks the eighth time the UFC has staged a fight card in Mexico City. It is also the fifth time Moreno has been prominently featured on a Mexico-based UFC card, underscoring his importance to the promotion in the region.


Moreno (23-9-2), a native of Tijuana who now trains out of Las Vegas, made history in 2021 by becoming the first Mexican-born UFC champion when he submitted Deiveson Figueiredo to win the 125-pound title. Now 32, Moreno enters the main event looking to rebound from a December TKO loss to Tatsuro Taira.

The fight will take place inside Arena CDMX, where Moreno aims to deliver a statement performance in front of a passionate home crowd and reignite his championship ambitions.
