"The Las Vegas-based promotion on Wednesday confirmed nine bouts for the Feb. 28 event, which takes place at Arena CDMX in Mexico City and airs on Paramount+. UFC Mexico City - which is also known as UFC Fight Night 268 - is headlined by a flyweight duel pitting ex-champ Brandon Moreno against Asu Almabayev. In the co-main event, Ailin Perez will face Macy Chiasson in a women's bantamweight tilt."
"Moreno, who enjoyed two separate reigns as UFC flyweight champion, is coming off a 1-1 campaign in 2025. He began the year with a five-round verdict over Steve Erceg in the UFC on ESPN 64 headliner in March before suffering a second-round technical knockout defeat to Tatsuro Taira at UFC 323 on Dec. 6. "Assassin Baby" owns other notable victories against the likes of Amir Albazi, Deiveson Figueiredo (twic), Kai Kara-France (twice), Brandon Royval and Jussier Formiga."
