Brandon Moreno to Face Steve Erceg in UFC Mexico City Main Event

The former flyweight champion looks to build on his recent win as Erceg seeks to end a two-fight skid in a pivotal matchup at high altitude.

  • Brandon Moreno, ranked No. 2 in the UFC flyweight division, returns to the Octagon after a unanimous decision victory over Amir Albazi in November 2024.
  • Steve Erceg, ranked No. 8, is coming off back-to-back losses, including a title fight defeat to Alexandre Pantoja and a knockout loss to Kai Kara-France.
  • The fight takes place at Arena CDMX in Mexico City on March 29, 2025, with the main card starting at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN+.
  • Mexico City's high altitude is expected to be a key factor, potentially favoring Moreno due to his cardio and pressure-heavy fighting style.
  • Despite being the betting favorite at -240, Moreno has struggled in previous UFC events in Mexico, with a record of 0-2-1 in his home country.
