Brandon Moreno vs. Charles Johnson in the works for UFC 335

Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno will face Charles Johnson at UFC 335 on December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, multiple sources confirmed to MMA Fighting. Moreno, who had dropped two consecutive bouts, rebounded with a victory over Joseph Morales at Noche UFC 3 in September and expressed desire to compete again before year's end—a wish now granted. The 35-year-old Johnson brings a mixed recent record, having alternated wins and losses over his last six fights with notable victories against Lone'er Kavanagh, Bruno Silva, and Eduardo Chapolin. UFC 335 will serve as the promotion's final major card of 2026, and Johnson will attempt to upset the former champion on that platform.
