Description

UFC Fight Night: Moreno vs. Kavanagh (also known as UFC Fight Night 268) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on February 28, 2026, at the Arena CDMX in Mexico City, Mexico.

Background
The event marked the promotion's eighth visit to Mexico City and first since UFC on ESPN: Moreno vs. Erceg in March 2025.

A flyweight bout between former two-time UFC Flyweight Champion Brandon Moreno (also former LFA Flyweight Champion) and Asu Almabayev was scheduled to headline the event. However, Almabayev withdrew due to a hand injury and was replaced by Lone'er Kavanagh. Kavanagh had been scheduled to face Bruno Gustavo da Silva at UFC Fight Night: Emmett vs. Vallejos two weeks later, but pulled out of that matchup to step in as the new headliner.

A women's flyweight bout between Ernesta Kareckaitė and promotional newcomer Sofia Montenegro was originally scheduled for this event. However, Montenegro withdrew for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by fellow newcomer Regina Tarin, with the matchup taking place at a 130‑pound catchweight.
