Brandon Moreno made an impressive comeback at UFC Edmonton on November 2, 2024, where he faced the highly ranked Amir Albazi. After a challenging split decision loss to Brandon Royval earlier in the year, many were eager to see how the former flyweight champion would bounce back, and he did so with a masterful performance.
The fight began with both fighters engaging in back-and-forth exchanges. While Albazi had moments where he tried to land heavy strikes, Moreno quickly showed his superior speed and striking accuracy. Throughout the first few rounds, Moreno outclassed Albazi with his jab, body kicks, and precise combinations, while also defending against takedowns with ease.
By the third round, it was clear that Moreno's strategy was working—he seemed quicker and more technical, while Albazi appeared slower and unable to mount an effective offense. The fourth and fifth rounds were similar, with Moreno continuing to pressure Albazi, who struggled to respond. In the final round, after a brief eye poke, Moreno returned to action with more intensity, nearly finishing the fight in the closing moments.
Moreno ultimately secured the win via unanimous decision, with the scorecards reading 49-46, 50-45, and 50-45. This victory not only marked a successful return but also showcased his readiness for another title run
