**Mexico City, Mexico** – Brandon Moreno solidified his place as a top contender in the UFC flyweight division, defeating Steve Erceg by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) in a thrilling main event at UFC Fight Night. The victory, a dominant performance in front of his home crowd, earns Moreno a shot at the title.
While the fight was closely contested, Moreno controlled the pace, keeping the fight standing and effectively out-landing Erceg 82-67 in total strikes. Though he didn’t secure a finish, Moreno’s consistent pressure and superior striking proved too much for the Australian challenger. This win erases the sting of Moreno’s last UFC outing in Mexico and positions him for a future title fight.
Post-fight, Moreno issued a challenge to UFC Chief Business Officer Hunter Campbell, expressing his desire to compete at UFC 320 in Guadalajara, Mexico, on September 13th. “I think I can move the needle,” Moreno stated. Erceg, meanwhile, suffers his third consecutive loss.
In the co-main event, Manuel Torres secured a first-round TKO victory over Drew Dober, ending the fight with a flurry of unanswered strikes. Torres’ win marks his return to the win column after a year-long drought, while Dober extends his losing streak to four out of his last five fights.
The undercard saw Mexican rising star Raul Rosas Jr. edge out Vince Morales by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) in a hard-fought bantamweight bout. Rosas Jr. weathered a late submission attempt to secure his fifth win in six fights, electrifying the home crowd with his boxing skills.
