Feburary 28, 2026, UFC Mexico delivered major surprises inside Arena CDMX as Lone’er Kavanagh pulled off the biggest win of his career, upsetting former two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno in the main event.Kavanagh earned a unanimous decision victory (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) over Moreno across five hard-fought rounds, silencing the hometown crowd and shaking up the flyweight division. The 26-year-old English prospect weathered Moreno’s pressure early, wobbled him in Round 2 with a massive counter combination, and controlled key moments down the stretch with sharp jabs, leg kicks, and disciplined defense against takedown attempts. #ufcmexico #brandonmoreno #ufc For Moreno, the loss marks back-to-back setbacks following his December knockout defeat to Tatsuro Taira — a tough stretch for the former champion who entered the bout as a betting favorite. In the co-main event, David Martinez continued his rise at bantamweight with a unanimous decision win over Marlon “Chito” Vera (29-28 across the board). Martinez’s speed, leg kicks, and consistent jab carried him through the first two rounds, and although Vera rallied late, it wasn’t enough. The defeat marks Vera’s fourth consecutive loss, raising questions about his place in the evolving 135-pound division.
