Former champion Moreno (22-8-2 MMA, 10-5-2 UFC) returned in peak form when he battered a tough Albazi (17-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) for five rounds in this past Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 246 main event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Considering that Royval’s past two wins have come against Moreno then formerly unbeaten Tatsuro Taira in a Fight of the Night effort, the 32-year-old thinks he just became the clear-cut No. 1 contender. “I think the only thing that it cleared up completely was that I’m next for the title shot,” Royval told MMA Junkie. “I think that’s what it did.

Brandon Moreno (22-8-2 MMA, 10-5-2 UFC) dominated Albazi (17-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) on Saturday in the UFC Fight Night 246 main event in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was his first fight back after a severe neck injury, but he never got going against the former 125-pound champion .
