Brady-Buckley, Moicano-Duncan set for April UFC main events

The UFC continued to roll out its spring lineup Saturday, announcing a pair of main events.

Welterweight contenders Sean Brady and Joaquin Buckley will headline UFC Fight Night on April 25 at Meta Apex in Las Vegas.

Additionally, lightweights Renato Moicano and Chris Duncan will meet in the main event of the April 4 Fight Night card at the same venue.

Brady, the No. 6-ranked fighter in the 170-pound division, is looking to bounce back from a first-round TKO loss to Michael Morales at UFC 322 last November. Brady was previously riding three-fight winning streak that included a submission of former champion Leon Edwards at UFC London last March.

Buckley, ranked No. 9, is coming off a unanimous decision loss to ex-champ Kamaru Usman in the UFC Atlanta main event last June. The defeat snapped Buckley's six-fight winning streak.

Moicano, the No. 10-ranked contender at 155 pounds, is seeking his first win since finishing Benoit Saint Denis in September 2024. The Brazilian lost back-to-back fights against then-lightweight titleholder Islam Makhachev and Beneil Dariush last year.

Duncan will attempt to crack into the top 15 with a win over Moicano. The 32-year-old Scottish fighter is coming off a first-round submission of Terrance McKinney at UFC 323 in December and has won four straight.
