The Octagon returns to Arena CDMX for tonight’s UFC Mexico City, a 13-bout fight card headlined by Brandon Moreno vs. Steve Erceg.
Moreno (22-8-2 MMA), the promotion’s former flyweight champion, will be competing for the first time since scoring a unanimous decision win over Amir Albazi this past November at UFC Edmonton. Prior to that victory, ‘The Assassin Baby’ had suffered back-to-back losses to Brandon Royval and Alexandre Pantoja respectively.
Meanwhile, Steve Erceg (12-3 MMA) will enter tonight’s headliner with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid, this after suffering losses to Alexandre Pantoja and Kai Kara-France. Prior to those setbacks, the Aussie was riding an impressive 11-fight win streak.
UFC Mexico City is co-headlined by a lightweight bout between Manuel Torres and Drew Dober.
Torres (15-3 MMA) will enter the contest looking to rebound, this after suffering a TKO loss to Ignacio Bahamondes at last September’s UFC 306 event. That setback snapped a 6-fight winning streak for the 30-year-old Mexican standout.
Meanwhile, Drew Dober (27-14 MMA) will be competing for the first time since suffering a third-round TKO loss to Jean Silva last July. The 36-year-old fan favorite has gone just 1-3 over his past four Octagon appearances.
Also featured on tonight’s UFC Mexico City main card is a highly anticipated middleweight bout between Kelvin Gastelum and Joe Pyfer.
Gastelum (19-9 MMA) will be returning to action for the first time since defeating Daniel Rodriguez last June in Saudi Arabia. ‘KG’ has gone 2-3 over his past five Octagon appearances overall.
Meanwhile, Joe Pyfer (13-3 MMA) last competed in June of 2024, where he earned a knockout victory over Marc-Andre Barriault. Prior to that, the up-and-coming contender had suffered a unanimous decision loss to Jack Hermansson.
