The matchup follows a recent change in opponents for Moreno, after his original adversary withdrew from the card this week due to an undisclosed injury.<\/p>\n<p>Moreno, one of the most prominent fighters in the UFC&#8217;s flyweight division, looks to reaffirm his status in his return to competition. The Mexican-born fighter, known for his resilience and technical skill, is returning to fight in front of a home crowd, adding further significance to the bout.<\/p>\n<p>Lone&#8217;er Kavanagh, a rising talent from England, steps in for his biggest test to date. Known for his striking abilities and agility in the octagon, Kavanagh brings a new stylistic matchup for Moreno. While less experienced at the highest level than Moreno, Kavanagh has shown promise in his recent performances and will look to make a strong impression against the former champion.<\/p>\n<p>The fight takes place as part of UFC Fight Night&#8217;s return to Mexico City, marking another major event for the promotion in the Latin American market. The evening is expected to feature a mix of established names and emerging fighters across several weight classes.<\/p>\n<p>Moreno\u2019s participation is particularly notable, as he remains a fan favorite and one of the most successful fighters to come out of Mexico. His presence on the card is likely to generate considerable interest both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>UFC officials have not yet announced updates to the co-main event or other potential fight card changes following the opponent switch. Additional details and the full fight lineup are expected to be confirmed closer to the event date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno is scheduled to take on Lone&#8217;er Kavanagh at UFC Fight Night on February 28 in Mexico City.
