After staging its latest numbered event from the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi last weekend, the MMA leader has remained on the road for a return to the “Great White North,” where Edmonton’s Rogers Place hosts a UFC Fight Night.

Topping the lineup on Nov. 2 is a clash of ranked flyweights as former champion Brandon Moreno looks to break his two-fight losing skid by stalling the charge and title ambitions of Amir Albazi.

Stakes will also be high in the co-headliner, which will see former strawweight queen Rose Namajunas look to keep her ball rolling at flyweight. To secure a third straight win at 125 pounds this year, “Thug Rose” must get the better of #3-ranked contender Erin Blanchfield.

Elsewhere, the likes of heavyweight knockout artist Derrick Lewis, home favorite Mike Malott, and bantamweight veteran Pedro Munhoz will all be in action.

The defeated Lemos, meanwhile, has dropped three positions to #15, while flyweight contender Maycee Barber has fallen out entirely.

Women’s Strawweight: At 115 pounds, Jandiroba finds herself two spots better off at #3 courtesy of her efforts at the Apex. Lemos has made way for that rise and now occupies her recent opponent’s formerly occupied #5 place.

Women’s Bantamweight: No changes.

Flyweight: Bruno Silva mounted a memorable comeback this past weekend to knock out fellow American Top Team standout Cody Durden. He’s been rewarded with an entry into the 125-pound rankings at #15, with his defeated teammate now out of the top 15.

Bantamweight: While he’s had to wait an extra week, Montel Jackson’s 18-second knockout of Da’Mon Blackshear in Denver has netted him the #15 position in the division. His arrival has led to the removal of longtime veteran contender Pedro Munhoz.

Report – Marlon Vera remains on UFC 292 card in August, lands short notice opponent change for Boston event

Following the withdrawal of former two-weight champion, Henry Cejudo from a scheduled UFC 292 return in August, fan-favorite bantamweight contender, Marlon Vera is targeted to remain on the Boston, Massachusetts card – with a pairing against Brazilian veteran, Pedro Munhoz currently in the works. As per an initial report from Marlon Vera’s management firm, Iridium […]

As per an initial report from Marlon Vera’s management firm, Iridium Sports Agency, the Ecuadorian is currently targeted to face the current number ten ranked contender, Munhoz, with verbal agreements in place between the duo to share the Octagon at UFC 292 on August 19. at the TD Garden.

Marlon Vera currently targeted to make second walk of the year in fight with Pedro Munhoz

“Our man @chitoveraUFC goes for his 15th @ufc victory vs. Pedro Munhoz on Aug. 19.”

Sidelined from the Octagon since he headlined UFC Fight Night San Antonio back in March, surging bantamweight contender, Marlon Vera saw his impressive four-fight winning run come to an end, suffering a one-sided, split decision loss to one-time interim bantamweight title challenger, Cory Sandhagen in ‘The Lone Star State’.

As for Munhoz, the veteran turned in a unanimous decision win over Chris Gutierrez at UFC Fight Night Kansas City back in April, scoring his first victory since landing a rematch triumph over promotional alum, Jimmie Rivera back in 2021.

Prior to his decision loss to Colorado favorite, Sandhagen earlier this year, Vera had turned in four consecutive victories, landing a pair of decision wins over both Davey Grant and Rob Font, before stopping former lightweight champion, Frankie Edgar with a front kick KO, before then stopping former two-time bantamweight best, Dominick Cruz with a high kick knockout in a UFC Fight Night San Diego main event.

Over the course of his Octagon tenure, Vera has turned in other notable victories over the likes of Brad Pickett, and Brian Kelleher, as well as handing UFC 292 headliner and incoming bantamweight title challenger, Sean O’Malley his sole professional loss, with a first round slew of ground strikes for a TKO finish back in 2020.

A lot of fans are going to be tuning into the main event of UFC 306 expecting Merab Dvalishvili to come out and fight with a very high work rate.

The bantamweight contender is one of the best fighters in the sport when it comes to weaponizing his conditioning, especially over five rounds.

His grappling and relentless output is sure to be a difficult problem for the sniper-like striking of Sean O’Malley but Dvalishvili’s teammate has a different option in mind.

The former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling pointed to one of O’Malley’s past fights as a good example of how the opposite strategy can be effective against “Suga”.

Aljamain Sterling Points Out How Pedro Munhoz Had Success Against Sean O’Malley By Letting Him Go First

O’Malley’s best skillset is far and above his counter-striking, as we saw in his title defense against Marlon Vera and his bantamweight title win over Sterling.

On that night at UFC 292, “Funkmaster” made a mistake in trying to press the action and was caught during his takedown entry.

In a recent interview with Jake Noecker for Home of Fight, Sterling spoke out about how being reserved so that you aren’t giving the counter-striker many opportunities to land shots or make reads, could be an option for his long-time friend and training partner.

He pointed to O’Malley’s fight against Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276 as a good example of this.

Though the fight was declared a no-contest in the second round after Munhoz couldn’t continue from an eye poke, he won the opening stanza on two of the three scorecards by fighting with a much more calculated and controlled approach.

“I think it’s gonna come down to a patience game. I think if Merab implements the same game plan that I used in the first round, just make it a slow fight, let O’Malley be the one to make mistakes. He’s used to people chasing him and he’s a very good counter fighter so don’t give him what he needs which is what the game plan was in our fight.

“So just speaking to Merab, letting him know those are his keys to victory. You watch his fight with Pedro Munhoz, it’s a very slow paced fight, not much happens if you don’t give him what he wants and I think anyone who’s an analyst in the sport knows what he’s good at, knows what he needs to have to have success. You take those tools away from him then he doesn’t really, I don’t want to say he doesn’t really have much but we haven’t seen that side of him. Having to be the aggressor when his opponent is not hurt.”

Former WEC and UFC featherweight champion, Jose Aldo, said there was still a UFC run left in him if he didn’t retire.

During the UFC 283 broadcast, it was announced that Aldo would be inducted into the UFC’s hall of fame later this year. This comes after a long, illustrious career that saw him take on the best the sport had to offer across two weight classes spanning two weight classes, from his WEC debut in 2008 to his retirement last year.

Jose Aldo ‘flattered’ by news of UFC Hall of Fame induction

The announcement was made in front of Aldo’s home crowd in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the 36-year-old was brought to tears as the video package was played. Talking to assembled media about the news of his UFC Hall of Fame induction this summer, Aldo expressed his gratitude for the honour.

“I was flattered,” Aldo said at the press conference. “I was not expecting it. I had no idea. It just brought it home. I was raised here. I was (called) the ‘King of Rio.’ I’ve got nothing but gratitude to the UFC and all the fighters who sent a message to me (in the video package). I’m flattered.”

Aldo is set to make his boxing debut on February 10., but said he could continue to fight in the UFC, even make a run for the title.

“I think if I carried on, I could have developed and had a good run for the belt,” Aldo said. “But I think it was time to end the career. I was very happy with the streak and the run that I had (at bantamweight).” (H/T MMAJunkie)

Aldo was on an impressive three-fight win streak over Marlon Vera, Pedro Munhoz and Rob Font before meeting Merab Dvalishvili in his final fight.

Aldo is undoubtedly one of the greatest to ever compete in the sport, at one point being on a 10-year undefeated streak, holding wins of names such as Frankie Edgar, Chan Sung Jung, Chad Mendes and Urijah Faber.
