Brandon Moreno’s Return: Headlining UFC Vegas 100 Against Rising Star Amir Albazi

Brandon Moreno is stepping back into the octagon sooner than expected, set to headline UFC Vegas 100 against Amir Albazi on November 9. After suffering a split decision loss to Brandon Royval at UFC Mexico City, Moreno announced he needed a break from MMA to rest his mind and body. The former flyweight champion said he wanted time to recharge and spend with his family before returning to the sport he loves. “This is by no means a goodbye. Just wait for me, have patience, let my body and mind recover, and we’ll come back to do things well,” Moreno assured his fans.

Now, the break is over, and Moreno (21-8-2) is eager to get back to winning ways. Despite recent setbacks, including a loss to Alexandre Pantoja that cost him his flyweight title, Moreno remains one of the most exciting fighters in the division, with wins over top contenders like Deiveson Figueiredo and Kai Kara-France. He faces a tough challenge in Amir Albazi (17-1), who is on a five-fight UFC win streak and coming off a split decision victory over Kai Kara-France.

Will Moreno’s return mark a new chapter in his career, or will Albazi continue his rise in the flyweight division?
