(Mike Bohn—MMA Junkie)
Main event: Brandon Moreno
Record: 23-8-2 MMA, 11-4-2 UFC
Opponent: Steve Erceg (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC)
Division: Flyweight
Key wins: Amir Albazi, Deiveson Figueiredo (twice), Kai Kara-France (twice), Brandon Royval
Misc.: Two-time flyweight champ Moreno got back on track in November with a win over Amir Albazi. He had back-to-back split decision losses to current champ Alexandre Pantoja, in which he lost the title, and Brandon Royval. The loss to Royval came in a Mexico City headliner a little more than a year ago.
Main event: Steve Erceg
Record: 12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC
Opponent: Brandon Moreno (23-8-2 MMA, 11-4-2 UFC)
Division: Flyweight
Key wins: Matt Schnell
Misc.: Like Moreno, Erceg's two-fight skid started with a loss to the current champ, Pantoja, in a May 2024 title fight. His shot at getting back on track was derailed in the first round by Kai Kara-France this past August with a knockout at UFC 305 – the first time Erceg was finished.
Co-main event: Drew Dober
Record: 27-14 MMA, 13-10 UFC
Opponent: Manuel Torres (15-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC)
Division: Lightweight
Key wins: Ricky Glenn, King Green, Terrance McKinney, Alexander Hernandez
Misc.: Dober has back-to-back losses and setbacks in three of his past four fights, though he also has a pair of bonuses in there – the seventh and eighth of his lengthy UFC tenure.
Co-main event: Manuel Torres
Record: 15-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC
Opponent: Drew Dober (27-14 MMA, 13-10 UFC)
Division: Lightweight
Key wins: Chris Duncan
Misc.: Torres delivered last year in front of his home fans in Mexico with a first-round submission of Chris Duncan for a post-fight bonus. But at UFC 306 at The Sphere in Las Vegas this past September, he was knocked out by Ignacio Bahamondes and had his six-fight winning streak snapped.
UFC debut: David Martinez
Record: 11-1
Opponent: Saimon Oliveira (18-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC)
Division: Bantamweight
Misc.: Martinez won on DWCS in October to get a contract, and he'll put it to use for the first time in front of his home fans in Mexico. The former Combate Global champion has nine of his 11 wins by knockout.
UFC debut: Ateba Gautier
Record: 6-1
Opponent: Jose Daniel Medina (11-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC)
Division: Middleweight
Misc.: The 22-year-old from Cameroon had a second-round knockout on DWCS this past September to punch his ticket. Five of his six wins have been by knockout, and they happen to be his last five straight – including four in the opening round.
