Following RAF 6 and UFC Mexico, MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee and Jed Meshew react to both events, Arman’s big outburst, Kavanagh’s sensational showing, whether Moreno still has title aspirations, King Green turning back the clock, and more.
Imanol Rodriguez and Kevin Borjas put on a show Saturday in Mexico City.
Now 32, Moreno faced unranked fill-in opponent Lone'er Kavanagh in the main event of a 13-bout show at Arena CDMX in Mexico City. The sixth-ranked ex-champ was initially matched with No. 8 Asu Almabayev, but that fight was scrapped when Almabayev pulled out with an injury in early February.
Michael Morales drew attention at UFC Mexico City by using his phone to send a public challenge to Islam Makhachev. The welterweight contender attended the event and seized the moment to address the UFC lightweight champion.
The May 2 Fight Night will feature hometown hero Jack Della Maddalena against Brazil's Carlos Prates in a prime time broadcast slot for Australian fans.
All hell broke loose at RAF 6.
