UFC Mexico City: Moreno vs. Kavanagh Weigh-In Results

"Instead of Asu Alamabayev out, Lone'er Kavanagh accepted the call to fill in on short notice. The English flyweight, 26, is just 9-1 as a pro and coming off a loss to Charles Johnson. Yet he remains a top prospect at 125lbs, and will have a chance to prove it come Saturday at the CDMX Arena in Mexico City, Mexico."

"It's not the originally billed main event, but UFC Mexico City moves forward with former two-time flyweight champ and Mexican fighting star Brandon Moreno at the helm."

"In the co-main event, Ecuador's Chito Vera faced off against rising star David Martinez in a key bantamweight fight. Another Mexican up-and-comer, Daniel Zellhuber, was paired up with veteran King Green."
