Brandon Moreno versus Steve Erceg is a UFC card at the Arena CDMX in Mexico. This fight pits two flyweight contenders and could produce the next LFA title challenger. Moreno (22-8-2) enters this matchup as the bookies' favorite and is coming off a win against Amir Albazi in November 2024. He boasts a championship pedigree, winning two UFC flyweight titles before losing his crown to Pantoja in July 2023." The Assassin Baby" will definitely fight with one eye on a title challenge.
Steve Erceg (12-3-0), on the other hand, was widely considered one of the most exciting flyweight prospects when he joined the franchise in 2023. He had a 9-1 professional record and made his UFC debut against David Dvorak, winning via a unanimous decision. Since that win, he has split his previous four fights, including losses in his last two assignments. It's evident that "Astroboy" will be under pressure to win this matchup.

Our Brandon Moreno vs Steve Erceg Prediction
Brandon Moreno will come into this matchup with the home fans behind him, although we suspect it will be an entertaining scrap. The former champion will depend on his impressive jiu-jitsu background and superior grappling skills to take down the Australian. Erceg has previously struggled against fighters with jiu-jitsu skills, including Alexandre Pantoja, who is similar to Moreno in fighting style. It's also worth noting that Erceg lost to Kai Kara-France, whom the Mexican defeated at UFC 277 in July 2022. We expect the referee to lift Moreno's hand on Saturday night. Our prediction for Brandon Moreno vs Steve Erceg: Brandon Moreno to win.
