Brandon Moreno and Charles Johnson Targeted for UFC 335

A flyweight matchup between Brandon Moreno and Charles Johnson is currently in the works for the UFC 335 card scheduled for December 12 at the T-Mobile Arena. Sources with knowledge of the promotion's planning confirmed the matchup to MMA Fighting.

Moreno recently secured a victory over Joseph Morales at Noche UFC 3 in September, ending a two-fight losing streak. Following that win, the former champion stated his desire to compete once more before the end of the year.

Charles Johnson enters the bout with a record defined by alternating wins and losses over his last six appearances. The 35-year-old has notable victories over Bruno Silva, Eduardo Chapolin, and Lone'er Kavanagh. He now looks to secure a high-profile win against a former titleholder in the UFC's final major event of 2026.
