The UFC returns to Mexico City on February 28, 2026, with former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno headlining against Lone’er Kavanagh in a main event reshaped by injury.

The card includes several debuts from Dana White's Contender Series winners and a co-main event pitting Marlon Vera against rising prospect David Martinez.
