Former flyweight champion and current number-two ranked flyweight contender Brandon Moreno fights in his home country - where he will take on former title challenger Steve Erceg in this weekend’s main event.

After suffering back-to-back losses - including losing his flyweight title to Alexandre Pantoja - Moreno bounced back with a unanimous decision victory over Amir Albazi in his most recent bout last November.

Number-eight ranked flyweight Steve Erceg has lost his last two fights in a row - including his title challenge against Alexandre Pantoja. He most recently suffered a TKO loss against Kai Kara-France at UFC 305 last August.

Moreno, the former champion, listed as a -250 favorite, will stand one-inch shorter but will have a two-inch advantage in reach. He also holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

15-3Record27-14, 1 no-contest

Holding a record of 3-1 in the UFC, Mexico’s Manuel Torres looks to bounce back from his first UFC loss in this weekend’s co-main event.

Torres last fought in September 2024 at UFC 306 but was defeated via TKO by the hands of Ignacio Bahamondes.

He takes on fan-favorite slugger Drew Dober, who is just 1-3 in his last four fights. Dober has lost his last two in a row - most recently losing by TKO (doctor’s stoppage) against Jean Silva last July.

Torres is the taller and longer fighter, but Dober is listed as the -115 favorite to win. However, oddsmakers have this as the tightest fight on the main card as Torres comes in at -111 via FanDuel.

After a lot of mixed success and changes in weight, former middleweight title challenger Kelvin Gastelum is sticking with the middleweight division after earning a big unanimous decision win over Daniel Rodriguez last June.

He had gone just 2-6 leading up to that last fight.

Gastelum takes on the surgeon Joe Pyfer, who is 6-1 over his last seven fights and who is coming off of a first-round knock-out win over Marc-Andre Barriault that took place last June.

All but one of Pyfers 13 wins have been finished by either KO, TKO or submission.

Pyfer will have both the height and reach advantages over the former title challenger and is listed as the -330 favorite to win at FanDuel.

The youngest fighter to ever debut for the UFC, Raul Rosa Jr. now has a 4-1 UFC record under his belt at only 20-years-old. 

Rosas Jr. has won his last three straight - most recently earning a unanimous decision win over Aori Qileng at UFC 306 last September.

He takes on Vince Morales, who, after winning five in a row, finds himself amidst a two-fight losing streak.

Morales fought earlier this year (February), dropping a unanimous decision to Elijah Smith.

Rosas Jr. will stand two-inches taller but Morales will have a three-inch advantage in reach. It’s not surprising that Raul Rosas Jr., at -480 via FanDuel, is the largest betting favorite on the main card.

Mexico’s David Martinez will make his UFC debut this weekend after riding a six-fight winning streak into his unanimous decision win on the Contender Series last October.

He takes on the Brazilian Saimon Oliveira, who has gone 0-2 since joining the promotion in 2021. He last fought in January 2023 - losing via TKO to Daniel Marcos at UFC 283.

Due to his inactivity, Oliveira is listed as a +290 underdog at FanDuel despite his four-inch reach advantage.

Martinez, a -400 favorite, will stand two-inches taller.

Kicking off the main card will be Mexico’s own Ronaldo Rodriguez, who will be considered a -164 favorite at FanDuel over his opponent Kevin Borjas.

Rodriguez has won his last seven fights in a row, including two fights in the UFC. He most recently earned a unanimous decision win over Ode Osbourne at UFC 306 last September.

Kevin Borjas was successful on his Contender Series appearance but has since lost his first two fights for the UFC promotion. He most recently lost to Alessandro Costa by TKO last May.

Rodirguez will stand one-inch taller but the underdog Borjas will have a three-inch advantage in reach.
