One of the fights that has been overlooked on this week's UFC Fight Night 159 card is the bout between Brandon Moreno and Askar Askarov.

Moreno is making his return to the UFC after a short hiatus from the company following two losses. He had a fight in LFA, which he was able to win, and will now return to the UFC as he looks to change his fortunes.

Before leaving for LFA, Moreno had beaten Louis Smolka, Dustin Ortiz, and Ryan Benoit, but had also lost back to back fights, to Sergio Pettis and then Alexandre Pantoja.
The man he is facing, however, is no pushover.
Askar Askarov is undefeated and has a 10-fight win-streak at the moment. He will look to make his mark in his UFC debut by defeating the returning Moreno. Given that he has won almost all his fights by stoppage, the fight could prove to be a cracker.
Askarov has fought mainly in Absolute Championship Berkut, so it will be interesting to see if he brings the same style over to the UFC and also how successful it is against someone with the experience of Moreno.
