The flyweight fighter will be taking on Alexandre Pantoja in the promotion’s first trip to Chile, which is set to go down on May 19 at the at the Movistar Arena in Santiago. The news was first reported by Combate and was later announced by the UFC.
Moreno was originally expected to face former title challenger Ray Borg on the UFC Chile event, but Borg withdrew from the bout due to personal reasons regarding his son’s health. That was the third time the Borg-Moreno fight had been canceled as the two young contenders were also scheduled to fight earlier this year at UFC Austin and UFC 223.
