UFC Mexico City Fight Night Faces Fan Backlash After Controversial Main Event

The UFC is gearing up for an exciting Fight Night event in Mexico City on March 29, where former flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will face Steve Erceg in the main event, aiming to break his winless streak in Mexico.

Meanwhile, UFC 316 is anticipated to feature a rematch between bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and former champion Sean O'Malley, as well as a title defense by Julianna Peña against Kayla Harrison. Additionally, Kamaru Usman is looking to rebound from recent losses, expressing interest in a bout with top contender Sean Brady. Lastly, Erin Blanchfield is set to face Maycee Barber on May 31, with the winner potentially in line for a title shot against the current champion, Valentina Shevchenko. The UFC continues to build excitement around these upcoming matches as fans eagerly await the developments.
