No Bets Barred: Can Brandon Moreno Get Back On Track At UFC Mexico City?
from MMA Fighting · host MMA Fighting
The UFC is back in Mexico City. This Saturday, the UFC returns Arena CDMX for another fight card in Mexico’s capital city, headlined by a flyweight matchup between former two-time champion Brandon Moreno and rising contender Lone’er Kavanagh. Moreno was originally set to fight Asu Almabayev, but after Almabayev pulled out of the event on just a few weeks’ notice, Kavanagh was pulled from his scheduled bout against Bruno Silva to step in, creating an unexpected main event, and No Bets Barred is here to break it all down. This week, host Jed Meshew flies solo to dive into all the action at this weekend’s event. Topics discussed include where Moreno is in his career, how the short-notice might affect Kavanagh, whether or not Chito Vera will actually try to do stuff in the co-main event against David Martinez, if Daniel Zellhuber can start to live up to his potential, a ton of Contender Series prospects making their debuts, a three-headed Climb, and more.
