The UFC has a new title contender at 125 pounds.
On Saturday, Sergio Pettis defeated Brandon Moreno in the main event of a UFC Fight Night in Mexico City.
Pettis and Moreno fought in an exciting battle that lasted the full 25 minutes.
In the first round, Moreno dominated and had Pettis’ back the majority of the round. For the rest of the fight, Pettis showed off his lethal striking skills and bloodied the Mexico native.

Following his unanimous decision win, Pettis has a strong claim to being next in line for a flyweight title shot.
At UFC 215, on Sept. 9, UFC Flyweight Champion Demetrious Johnson will defend his title against Ray Borg. The winner of that fight should expect to meet Pettis in their next title defense.
