UFC Fight Night: Pettis vs. Moreno (also known as UFC Fight Night 114) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship held on 5 August 2017 at Arena Ciudad de México in Mexico City, Mexico.
Background[]
A flyweight bout between Sergio Pettis and Brandon Moreno headlined the event.[3]
Chris Gruetzemacher was expected to face The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America 3 lightweight winner Martín Bravo at the event. However, Gruetzemacher pulled out of the fight on July 18 with an injury and was replaced by promotional newcomer Humberto Bandenay.[4]
A featherweight contest between Hacran Dias and Zabit Magomedsharipov was scheduled to take place at this event, but Magomedsharipov was moved to a fight against Nick Hein at the UFC Fight Night: Struve vs. Volkov event in Rotterdam in September.[5] In turn, Hacran Dias was removed from the card entirely.
At the weigh-ins, Alexa Grasso came in at 119 lbs, three pounds over the strawweight limit of 116 lbs. As a result, she was fined 20% of her purse, which went to Randa Markos and their bout proceeded at a catchweight.[6]
