UFC Mexico is going live from Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico. The UFC Fight Night: Brandon Moreno vs Brandon Royval is UFC’s first visit to the country since the infamous Mexico event, which saw fans pelting bottles inside the Octagon and at the commentators.
The incident occurred following the main event between Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens, which ended in a No-Contest due to an eye poke. This time around, it was no different. However, instead of showing their agitation towards the fighters or the commentators, the fans decided to engage among themselves as a massive brawl broke out during the main card fight between Yazmin Jauregui vs. Sam Hughes.
