MMA fans were treated to an exhilarating night at UFC Edmonton, held at the Rogers Place in Canada, as the fight card featured an array of intense matchups, including the highly anticipated main event between two-time UFC champion Brandon Moreno and undefeated contender Amir Albazi.

In the main event, Moreno showcased his resilience, overcoming a streak of narrow split-decision losses. The fight culminated in a unanimous decision victory for Moreno, with judges scoring it 49-46 and 50-45 twice, solidifying his position as one of the top flyweights. Meanwhile, Albazi, who was looking to extend his perfect UFC record to 6-0 after a prolonged layoff, put up a valiant effort but could not match Moreno's experience and tactical prowess.

The co-main event saw former two-time strawweight champion Rose Namajunas continue her ascent in the flyweight division against rising star Erin Blanchfield. In a closely contested battle, Blanchfield edged out Namajunas by unanimous decision, with all three judges scoring the bout 48-47 in her favor. This victory marks a significant win for Blanchfield, who looks poised to challenge for the title soon, while Namajunas faces a critical juncture in her career after suffering consecutive defeats.

Notably, a bout between heavyweight fighters Derrick Lewis and Jhonata Diniz was scrapped due to Lewis's last-minute medical withdrawal, prompting questions about the former title challenger’s future in the octagon.
