From the opening round, Moreno dictated the tempo, using precise counter-punching and well-timed leg kicks to keep Albazi at bay. Albazi struggled to find a response as Moreno’s relentless pressure wore him down, with each round becoming an uphill battle for the Iraqi fighter.

Albazi did manage to secure a well-timed takedown early on, yet Moreno quickly bounced back, proving that his defense was just as sharp as his offense.
