Quick read
Asu Almabayev withdrew from the main event of UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh due to a hand injury, replaced by Lone'er Kavanagh, who pulled out of his own fight to step in. The event is set for February 28, 2026, at Arena CDMX in Mexico City, marking UFC's eighth visit there. Brandon Moreno now faces Kavanagh in the flyweight headliner, a significant shift for the division as Moreno seeks to rebound. This reshuffle highlights injury risks in camps and Kavanagh's opportunism. Expect Moreno to leverage home advantage; outcome could shake flyweight rankings.[1]
