Brandon Moreno's next assignment official for UFC 335

Brandon Moreno’s next UFC bout has been officially confirmed for UFC 335, marking his return to the Octagon after a recent absence. The lightweight contender will face an unnamed opponent in a match set to take place on December 12, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Meanwhile, the event’s main card will feature a highly anticipated clash between Diego Lopes and Charles Oliveira for the BMF title, with Lopes moving up to lightweight for the fight. The card also includes speculation about potential future matchups, including Lopes’ expressed interest in challenging Justin Gaethje for the UFC lightweight championship, though that would be for the BMF title rather than the UFC belt.

Other notable storylines from recent events include Brendan Allen’s rise following his victory at UFC Vegas 122 and the ongoing discussions about elite matchups for rising fighters in the division.
