Brandon Moreno Set to Face Joseph Morales at Noche UFC 4
Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will take on rising contender Joseph Morales at Noche UFC 4, scheduled for September 12 in Glendale, Arizona.
Moreno, 32, is looking to get back to winning ways after a difficult run since losing the flyweight title to Alexandre Pantoja by split decision. He has won only two of his last five fights.
Following his title defeat, Moreno lost a close decision to Brandon Royval before bouncing back with victories over Amir Albazi and Steve Erceg.
However, he has since suffered a TKO loss to Tatsuro Taira and a unanimous decision defeat to Lone’er Kavanagh, dropping him to ninth in the UFC flyweight rankings.
Morales, 31, joined the UFC last year with a professional record of 12 wins and two losses. He has made an impressive start to his UFC career, earning submission victories over Alibi Idiris and Matt Schnell to secure the No. 15 spot in the flyweight rankings.
The Moreno vs. Morales showdown will be part of the Noche UFC 4 event, which celebrates Mexican Independence Day. The card will also feature a women’s flyweight clash between Alexa Grasso and Manon Fiorot.
