Brandon Moreno is ready to add a new chapter to his legacy.
The former flyweight champion, who fought to a draw in the greatest-ever flyweight fight in UFC history, steps back into the cage this Saturday at UFC 277 to challenge Kai Kara-France for the interim flyweight title.
This is a rematch from a 2019 bout against Kara-France (24-9, 1 NC) that Moreno won by unanimous decision. It affords Moreno (19-6-2) an opportunity to regain the flyweight gold he believes he never lost, despite judges scoring his fight this past January in favor of Deiveson Figueiredo.
“I still feel like I won that fight,” says Moreno, who fought Figueiredo to a draw in their epic 2020 bout, defeated him in June of 2021 for the title, then dropped the belt to him six months ago.
