The UFC returns to Mexico this Saturday, March 29th 2025, with an action-packed event at Arena CDMX. This fight card features a range of seasoned veterans as well as rising stars, promising to be an exciting night for MMA enthusiasts.
UFC Mexico Main Event
Headlining the event will be a flyweight fight between former champion Brandon Moreno and ex-title challenger Steve Erceg. Brandon Moreno ranked number 2 in the flyweight division, aims to regain title contention after a dominant win over Amir Albazi in November 2024. Fighting in his home country, Moreno seeks to break a streak of winless performances in Mexico. Despite his global success, he has yet to secure a victory on home soil in the UFC, with a loss to Sergio Pettis in 2017, a draw against Askar Askarov in 2019, and a defeat by Brandon Royval in 2024.
Steve Erceg, currently on a two-fight losing streak, including a knockout loss to Kai Kara-France in August 2024, is eager to re-establish himself in the division. Known, for his size, strength, and aggressive striking, Erceg presents a formidable challenge to Moreno.
Co-Main Event
The Co-Main event features a lightweight clash between Manuel Torres and Drew Dober. Torres, recognised for his striking prowess and grappling skills, boasts seven wins due to submission. Dober, a UFC veteran, is known for his preference to engage in stand-up battles, averaging 4.70 significant strikes landed per minute.
However, Drew Dober also absorbs about 4.30 significant strikes per minute, indicating a tendency to take as much as he delivers. This match-up is anticipated to be an aggressive and entertaining fight.
