He UFC returns to Mexico for the first time since 2019 for its fourth fight night of the year. Two rematches will headline the main event card between the former flyweight champion and Tijuana, Mexico native Brandon Moreno against former title challenger Brandon Royval. Both fighters are coming off losses to current flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja. Moreno was 2-0 before that and beat Royval at UFC 255, while Royval was 3-0 before fighting for the title.

Ortega looks to avoid his third straight loss after suffering a shoulder injury at UFC Long Island against Rodriguez.
Rounding out the rest of the main card is young prospect Raúl Rosas, Jr., who is looking to make it two straight wins against Ricky Turcios, and fellow local prospects Daniel Zellhuber, Yazmín Jáuregui and Manuel Torres. The preliminaries are headlined by exciting bantamweights Cristian Quiñonez and Raoni Barcelos.
The rest of the card also features many local talents such as Jesús Aguilar, Edgar Chairez, Luis Rodríguez and Víctor Altamirano, all looking to put on a show for their local audience. Muhammad Naimov opens as the biggest betting favorite on the undercard when he takes on Erik Silva.
