The event's headlining match has former two-time UFC flyweight titleholder Brandon Moreno taking on Australia's Steve Erceg, who'd previously challenged for the flyweight title once and come up short. The Mexican has been on a quest to reclaim his throne, and the belief is that he could insert himself into the title conversation with an impressive win over Erceg.

On the other hand, Erceg is coming off the very first stoppage defeat of his professional MMA career. He was finished via first-round TKO against Kai Kara-France in 2024. Considering the variables at play, the upcoming fight is a significant one for Erceg, as a win over a former champion could help him revitalize his title aspirations.

Additionally, the UFC Mexico City co-headlining match pits surging lightweights against one another. Mexico's Manuel Torres is booked to clash against America's Drew Dober in a fight that many fans expect to deliver fireworks. Torres' latest octagon outing ended in him getting knocked out by Ignacio Bahamondes. As for Dober, he's coming off a TKO loss against Jean Silva.

Both co-headliners would be in search of the win, and given the stylistic clash, many foresee the two combatants leaving it all inside the octagon come fight night. A win for Dober would help him break through toward the ever-elusive upper echelons of the UFC's lightweight division. Alternatively, a win for Torres could arguably be the biggest of his career thus far.
