Brandon Moreno won in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Edmonton, dominating Amir Albazi.
The two-time UFC flyweight champion put on a vintage performance as he battered Amir Albazi for the full 25 minutes, winning with wide scores of 50-45 from two judges and 49-46 from one. With the impressive victory, Moreno snapped his two-fight skid and remained a top contender as he also handed the surging Albazi his first ever defeat in the UFC.
In the co-main event, Rose Namajunas started out very strong by winning the first two rounds, but Erin Blanchfield showed some heart and pulled off a gutsy comeback. Blanchfield was losing the earlier striking exchanges, when she found a way to get on top and to turn the tide and win the final three rounds.
Namajunas, the former UFC strawweight champion, has now dropped to 2-2 since moving up to flyweight.
Winning Performance of the Night bonuses and receiving an extra $50,000 are Jasmine Jasudavicius, Dustin Stoltzfus, Charles Jourdain, and Youssef Zalal.
