The UFC Mexico event featured a highly anticipated flyweight main event between Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval, marking a significant moment in both fighters' careers. Moreno, known for his hard work, family values, and previous championship experience, was looking to reclaim his position at the top of the division in Moreno vs. Royval 2. Royval, on the other hand, aimed to right his path towards a title shot, emphasizing the pressure on Moreno to defend his narrative in front of a home crowd. Both fighters successfully made the official weight of 126 pounds, setting the stage for their showdown. The event also saw the impressive UFC debut of Ronaldo Rodriguez, who secured a victory with a last-second Rear Naked Choke (RNC) finish with 1 second left in the second round, making a memorable entrance into the UFC with his performance.
