UFC Fight Night Edmonton Preview – Brandon Moreno vs. Amir Albazi
“The Assassin Baby” is currently on a two-fight skid after Brandon Royval replaced Albazi for a UFC Fight Night main event in February and earned a split decision against the former champion, and this matchup in Edmonton will mark the first time Albazi has entered the cage since taking a split decision of his own over Kai Kara-France in June of last year.

UFC Edmonton Moreno vs. Albazi - Full Card Odds & Best Bets
“Thug Rose” has impressively rebounded from a loss in her flyweight debut with back-to-back wins, and she’ll try to hand Blanchfield a second-straight loss after “Cold Blooded” came up short for the first time in her UFC career against Manon Fiorot in March.
Standout bouts from the rest of the main card include the UFC’s all-time knockout leader Derrick Lewis taking on the undefeated Jhonata Diniz in a heavyweight clash. Mike Malott and Trevin Giles will also kick off the main card action after an eight-fight prelim card that’s highlighted by intriguing matchups such as Charles Jourdain vs. Victor Henry and Jack Shore vs. Youssef Zalal.
