The Ultimate Fighting Championship returned this weekend with UFC Fight Night 237 at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City, Mexico.

In the night’s main event, flyweight contenders Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval faced off in a highly-anticipated rematch. In their first meeting in November 2020, Moreno scored a first-round TKO over Royval.

This time around, Royval got redemption after a hard-fought five-round affair that ended in a split decision.

Brian Ortega took on Yair Rodriguez and made a big statement in the co-main event after scoring a third-round submission win over Rodriguez.
