Jussier Formiga vs. Brandon Moreno among additions to UFC Brasilia

The first Brazilian UFC card of 2020 is taking shape.

In a Thursday press release, the promotion announced a handful of fights for UFC Brasilia on March 14. Among them, a flyweight battle between Jussier Formiga (22-6 MMA, 8-5 UFC) and Brandon Moreno (16-5-1 MMA, 4-2-1 UFC).

Formiga looks to rebound from a second-round TKO loss to Joseph Benavidez in his last fight. That resulted ended a four-fight win streak. Moreno, meanwhile, gets right back to work after his unanimous-decision victory over Kai Kara-France at UFC 245. That kept the Tijuana native unbeaten (1-0-1) in his second UFC stint.

The promotion also announced a bantamweight bout between Rani Yahya (26-10 MMA, 11-4 UFC) and Enrique Barzola (16-5-1 MMA, 6-3 UFC). In the women’s bantamweight division, Veronica Macedo (6-3-1 MMA, 1-3 UFC) returns to take on Bea Malecki (3-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC).

The release also confirmed previously revealed fights including a welterweight matchup between Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos and Alexey Kunchenko, a women’s strawweight bout between Amanda Ribas and Paige VanZant, a light heavyweight fight between Johnny Walker and Nikita Krylov, and a middleweight fight between Brad Tavares and Antonio Carlos Junior.

The main event for UFC Brasilia has yet to be announced.

UFC Brasilia takes place Saturday, March 14 at Ginasio Nilson Nelson in Brasilia, Federal District, Brazil. The event is expected to stream on ESPN+.
