Ahead of his return at UFC Edmonton this weekend, former flyweight champion, Brandon Moreno has claimed the inclusion of Japanese star, Kai Asakura into a UFC 310 title fight at the end of the year is a “positive” charge for the 125lbs division.
Moreno, the current number two-ranked flyweight contender and former two-time divisional gold holder, makes his return to action this weekend in the headliner of UFC Fight Night Edmonton, in a five round potential title eliminator against surging contender, Amir Albazi.
Sidelined since he featured in the main event of UFC Fight Night Mexico City earlier this year, former champion, Moreno will attempt to snap a two-fight losing skid to incumbent gold holder, Alexandre Pantoja, and former title chaser, Brandon Royval.
