UFC fans are eagerly anticipating the men’s flyweight matchup between Brandon Moreno and Steve Erceg at UFC Fight Night in Mexico City Arena. Moreno, ranked No. 3 by ESPN, is looking to bounce back from his recent losses, while Erceg seeks to turn his fortunes around after a two-fight losing streak.
Moreno, known for his aggressive style and pressure, will face a formidable opponent in Erceg, who boasts strong striking skills and power. Wood, coach of Syndicate MMA fighter John Wood, believes that Moreno’s improved composure and wrestling abilities will give him the edge he needs to win. However, if Erceg can land early counterpunches, it could be a different story.
Altitude is expected to play a significant role in the fight, with Mexico City’s high altitude potentially draining both fighters’ energy. Many experts predict that Moreno will dominate the fight, which could lead to an impressive victory for the Mexican fighter.
ESPN betting expert Ian Parker tips Moreno to win by decision and expects him to last at least four rounds. Parker also recommends taking the over 2.5 rounds bet, as he believes Erceg’s power advantage won’t be enough to overcome Moreno’s incredible cardio and endurance.
