Let's dive into the main card, starting with the flyweight combat between Moreno and Albazi:
MAIN CARD (from 2 AM Sunday SA time):
Brandon Moreno (favored, -175) v Amir Albazi (+145) (Flyweight)
Two opponents on divergent paths in the flyweight category square off in this electrifying showdown.
Currently ranked #2, Brandon Moreno, fondly known as "The Assassin Baby," is aiming to bounce back from consecutive split decision losses to Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval, which ended his second reign as flyweight champion.
Meanwhile, rising star Amir Albazi, ranked #3 in the division, boasts an unblemished UFC record of 5-0 and is powered by a six-fight winning streak. Fresh off a split decision victory against former interim title challenger Kai Kara-France, Albazi eyes making a strong argument for a title fight with a triumph over Moreno.
Known for his lightning-speed striking and eleven submission victories, Moreno's technique and experience could give him an advantage. Though unbeaten since joining the UFC in 2020, Albazi's only blemish was a points loss to Jose Torres in 2019. Scheduled for five rounds, this epic contest will certainly test the mettle of both combatants.
