Brandon Moreno vs. Charles Johnson Booked for UFC 335

Overview

• UFC and broadcast partner Paramount+ have confirmed Brandon Moreno will face Charles Johnson at UFC 335 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on December 12, 2026.
• Moreno is a two‑time former flyweight champion coming off a 1‑1 run in 2026 and is using this bout to reestablish himself in divisional contention.
• Johnson will make his fifth appearance of 2026 after a twister submission win over Eduardo Henrique that earned him a Performance of the Night bonus.
• UFC 335 is headlined by Charles Oliveira vs. Diego Lopes for the BMF title and also features Sergei Pavlovich vs. Alex Pereira plus Joe Pyfer vs. Bo Nickal, increasing visibility for undercard winners.
• A win for either fighter will likely boost matchmaking leverage and rankings but would not automatically guarantee a title shot given the depth and pending outcomes on the event card.
