UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Albazi (also known as UFC Fight Night 246) is an upcoming mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that will take place on November 2, 2024, at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.[1]
Background
[edit]The event will mark the promotion's third visit to Edmonton and first since UFC 240 in July 2019.[1]
A flyweight bout between former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion Brandon Moreno and Amir Albazi is expected to headline the event.[2] The bout was initially scheduled for UFC Fight Night 247, but was moved to this event shortly after.[3] They were previously expected to meet at UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Royval 2 earlier in the year but Albazi withdrew due to a neck injury.[4]
A women's flyweight bout between Erin Blanchfield and former two-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Rose Namajunas was originally scheduled to headline the event.[5] However, in September, it was announced that the bout was shifted to the co-main event but is expected to remain five rounds.[2]
A heavyweight bout between former UFC Heavyweight Championship challenger Derrick Lewis and Alexander Romanov was expected to serve as the co-main event.[6] However, the promotion opted to split the pairing, with Lewis facing Jhonata Diniz and Romanov facing Rodrigo Nascimento instead.[7]
