EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada – [autotag]Brandon Moreno[/autotag] and [autotag]Amir Albazi[/autotag] are one step closer to their UFC Fight Night 246 headliner after making weight Friday.
Former champion Moreno (21-8-2 MMA, 9-4-2 UFC) returns from a self-imposed hiatus from competition when he takes on Albazi (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC), who is returning from some serious health issues, in a five-round bout Saturday at Rogers Place (ESPN+).
First, though, the pair had to hit the non-title flyweight limit during official weigh-ins at the UFC host hotel. Moreno was the first fighter to come to the scale during the one-hour window and was 125.5 pounds. Albazi was waiting right behind him and registered 125.5, as well.
Check out the video above to see Moreno and Albazi make weight for the UFC Fight Night 246 main event.
