UFC on ESPN+ 95 live results: Moreno vs. Royval 2, Rodriguez vs. Ortega 2 in todays Wrestling news

The UFC returns to Mexico City with a pair of rematches.

The Octagon will be at its highest point as the UFC returns Mexico for the first since September 2019 with UFC on ESPN+ 95 Moreno vs. Royval 2, from the Arena CDMX, Mexico City.
In the main event, former UFC Flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will square off against Brandon Royval for a second time.

Both men first met at UFC 255 in November 2020, where Moreno won the fight via first-round TKO. Both have also lost title fights to Alexandre Pantoja. The winner could face the champion who will be present.

Yair Rod will face Brian Ortega at featherweight in a five-round rematch. The two had previously fought on July 20, 2022. However, that fight never got started as Ortega sustained a shoulder injury in the first round. This will be Ortega’s first fight after the injury.

On the main card, there are also three other bouts: a lightweight match between Daniel Zellhuber and Francisco Prado, a bantamweight fight featuring Raul Rosas Jr. and Ricky Turcios and a light-weight bout between Manuel Torres & Chris Duncan.
