Moreno and Johnson Reportedly Targeted for UFC 335

A finalized booking would raise UFC 335's profile by putting a former flyweight champion on the year-end card.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported Thursday that a flyweight bout between former champion Brandon Moreno and Charles Johnson is in the works for UFC 335 on Dec. 12 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
  • The UFC has not formally announced the fight, so the matchup remains unconfirmed and subject to change until the promotion posts an official card.
  • Moreno is seeking a late‑year return after a recent win at Noche UFC 3 and had said he wanted one more appearance before the calendar closed.
  • Johnson has alternated wins and losses but raised his profile with a rare Scottish twister submission at UFC 330 and is looking for higher‑profile opponents.
  • If finalized, the bout would add name value to the year‑end card and give the winner clearer momentum in the flyweight picture heading into 2027.
