It was a surprise to hear Rosas Jr was fighting Turcios since Raul didn't fight last UFC event due to a last minute withdrawal and Ricky agreeing to a fight the following week.
Weird to hear and looking at the official UFC main website they aren't listed on there as of yet:
https://www.ufc.com/event/ufc-fight-night-march-02-2024
Even though there are 11 bouts scheduled.
Must of been announced after all the MMA youtubers put out their prediction videos too early in the week.
Here are the known changes to the fight card from the UFC site:

note: after doing a search it was announced 20 minutes ago that the fight is off.

UFC Fight Night 237 Moreno versus Royval Results.
Round 1: It was a slow start, both are hesitating to attack, mostly fakes, getting the range, and feeling each other. Royval somehow hurt his left leg by attacking. Moreno was waiting for the counter most of the time, not that aggressive.
Round 2: So different from Round 1. Moreno now stays in the center of the octagon, unlike in the first round.
Round 3: I thought it was going to end here. Royval had a near submission although it was Moreno who was on top. That was a nice defensive maneuver from Royval.
Round 4: Leg kicks from Moreno but he should've done that earlier and it could've affected Royval more if he did.
Round 5: Mostly hard punches from Moreno but the clinches were not going to help. Royval still punching in volumes.
Royval has a big chance to punish Moreno in the body. It was always open but he is too focused on the face.
Royval won in a split decision. It was obvious because he was using the volume punches. He also dominated the center of the octagon. He changed. Tough chin, more stamina, good win.
Herb Dean might've raised his hand too early, they are both Brandon. He is lucky that he raised the correct hand.
Quite an enjoyable UFC event in Mexico with having all my selections correct but exactly when the pulling out of Rosas Jr. it all went wrong right on cue.Round 1: It was a slow start, both are hesitating to attack, mostly fakes, getting the range, and feeling each other. Royval somehow hurt his left leg by attacking. Moreno was waiting for the counter most of the time, not that aggressive.

This is when all the underdogs which I hadn't picked all won their bouts.
Saw up until when Yair lost in the co-main then missed the entire main event.
It was funny when the referee was lifting the hand of the winner and thinking the other Brandon won.
It was a close fight from what I heard the next morning.
Looking forward to the Vegas 87 fights on this weekend.

Gonna go for Yair, Ortega likely be KO'd in the 2 round. Dana must have given him a chance to redeem since Ortega is fun to watch after all the first fight was due to a shoulder injury. But none of them can match Tuporia. Ortega nor Yair is too underdog for Tuporia.
These are the 3 that I would be siding for.
Daniel Zellhuber by UD
Yair Rodriguez by KO
Brandon Moreno by UD
Was wondering what happened during their last fight because even though it was less than two years ago it seemed longer than that.These are the 3 that I would be siding for.
Daniel Zellhuber by UD
Yair Rodriguez by KO
Brandon Moreno by UD
Surprised to see they are nearly the exact same age and would of thought Ortega was much older than Yair. With Brian only a year older.
Here is their first engagement in the octagon:
Yair Rodriguez vs Brian Ortega 1 | FULL FIGHT | UFC Mexico
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nop6J8uY6Ls
Really good promotional video from the UFC to watch right before the fight which they will no doubt run right before the commercials during this event.
Rodriguez vs Ortega 2 - The Real Fight | UFC Mexico
Funny how during this interview with Yair he mentions he didn't want to face Brain again:
Yair Rodriguez explains why he didn’t want to fight Brian Ortega again | ESPN MMA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzCvXSg9vbw
Also Ortega explaining why he was out of the ring for so long due to that injury:
Brian Ortega didn’t expect to be out so long from injury before UFC Mexico return | ESPN MMA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SCQXM9qXfs
I agree with danherbias07, I like those picks too and will probably add them to a 10 leg acca.

Nice! I like your picks. These are the 3 that I would be siding for.
Daniel Zellhuber by UD
Yair Rodriguez by KO
Brandon Moreno by UD
Here are the odds for the fight.
Brandon Moreno - | Regular Win @1.31 | By KO or Submission @2.35 | By KO or points @1.87 | By Submission or points @1.76 |
Brandon Royval - | Regular Win @3.15 | By KO or Submission @5.20 | By KO or points @4.70 | By Submission or points @4.90 |
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-moreno-vs-albazi/moreno-brandon-vs-royval-brandon-65ae5c151612c50001b54fa1
Moreno is the heavy favorite. Well, considering their history, I bet that will be the case without any doubt.
Round 1 KO in their last meeting so they might be using that. I think the safest path for me is the KO or points win for Moreno.
Yair Rodriguez - | Regular Win @1.65 | By KO or Submission @7.60 | By KO or points @4.00 | By Submission or points @3.05 |
Brian Ortega - | Regular Win @2.11 | By KO or Submission @6.40 | By KO or points @6.70 | By Submission or points @3.95 |
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-moreno-vs-albazi/ortega-brian-vs-rodriguez-yair-65a380c61612c50001db0fd9
So, they are saying Ortega has more chances for a KO win by checking the odds. While Yair might take this to distance and win it by points. Hmm, that's kind of intriguing.
Yair for the co-main will be an interesting one because from I remember Dana was saying whoever is the winner will face Topuria.
So this makes the results of some of these bouts alittle more interesting with the stakes set high.
Here are the markets for this fight night:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-moreno-vs-albazi/matches
Wow! That's nice. Going directly against the new champion? Amazing! I bet this will be a bloody one if that's the case. I have not sniffed that news, so thanks for sharing. So this makes the results of some of these bouts alittle more interesting with the stakes set high.

This looks like an interesting fight card @danherbias07 so thanks for posting the fight night event and the details describing who is fighting against who.
Haven't seen some of these guys fight in quite a while especially Royval.
But I am sticking to the fighters that I know so will be backing the former champ the other Brandon.

Yeah, that's what I am expecting, some changes or additions in UFC 300. This should be a satisfying event for the fans and I think with all the bad reactions, he will do something incredible to it.
Anyway, UFC Fight Night is on Saturday or Sunday for GMT +8.

Brandon Moreno dropped Royval in their first meeting in 2020 at Round 1 of the fight. Royval on the other hand got stronger after that fight and defeated most of his opponents that will be faced against him. It's just Alex Pantoja where he is always defeated. Now, this is a question of if he can claim his revenge.
Royval is the underdog at 3.20. Moreno is the favorite at 1.34.
Good luck with your bets everyone.

I agree with you on that.
He is strong. Those punches are scary and Volk might've felt it that's why he is too cautious to get in and try to brawl him.
Indeed, he will be the future of the UFC and he might even defend that title for a long time if he keeps this up. Still, I want to see him win a title defense first before I call him a true champion.
Well, UFC 300 was announced. What do you guys think?
I have high expectations which is why I wouldn't say I liked the announcement.
Here is an explanation of Dana White on why he made that decision.
Perhaps he has more plans after it and maybe that is where my expectations will be satisfied.

It's not that bad and I love watching Alex Pereira but I thought UFC 300 should be something that would mark as an unforgettable moment which is why I want more.

UFC 300 finally has a main event, but it’s tough to say if many predicted Alex Pereira vs. Jamahal Hill would headline the historic card on April 13.
https://www.mmafighting.com/2024/2/18/24076429/dana-white-explains-how-ufc-300-main-event-came-together-praises-leon-edwards-accepting-fightsHere is an explanation of Dana White on why he made that decision.
Quote
White admitted that the biggest hurdle that the UFC had to clear really came down to stacking three pay-per-view cards in a row between UFC 298, UFC 299 and then UFC 300 that the cupboard was nearly bare. Thankfully, Pereira and Hill were available and ready to fight.
“This was not about money,” White said. “It was all about timing. We’ve got three killer cards in a row and in this business you have injuries and all kinds of other bulls*** that goes on behind the scenes. We’ve been talking about 300 forever. We were just trying to make the best fights that we could possibly make. We had two more fights to make and we’re trying to put on two bad ass fights.

They will pull another famous "Oh we forgot!" and Mr. White announces it on his youtube instead.
Because the fact he mentioned it on his instagram makes it look if even Dana doesn't care much about this fight to announce it on there instead of the way he normally does it which is on youtube.
Still along ways away with several fight nights and another main event before 300 so anything can happen.

I think Tuporia wouldn't step further away every time Volk attacks. He does this even in his previous fights with Bryce Mitchell and Emmett.
Mighty Demetrious Johnson was right about him being one of the best in the coming years. He described that Ilia would just take kicks and punches so he could counter his opponent. I was watching over and over his last 2 fights and how Tuporia impressed MMA fans. So young and a new champion that will reign this time.

My God! How long has it been since that Featherweight belt changed ownership? I cannot even remember.
One shot! Another One Punch Man. I was shocked.
Well, I think Volkanovski felt that punch from the first round that's why he is fighting with great space and using his longer reach to score points.
I gave Volk that round one although Topuria made some good leg kicks too. I was actually surprised he stopped doing it because it is hurting Volk.
Anyway, Topuria has shown he really has that knockout power, he said he was going to finish it in Round 1, but he didn't but it's Round 2 so that is still a strong finish. He caught Volk with a great right hook at the right spot to make him sleep.
We now have a new champion, still undefeated. But, I still believe a champion will be called a real champion after a defense. That's where it becomes more difficult. Now, we wait.
"Look at me! Look at me now!"
We heard the same when Leon Edwards won that belt. A great win for Topuria.
Same as Joe, I cannot wait for him to defend that title.

That was a really good UFC event which just ended with a Topuria KO in the 2nd round to become champion!
What a great story so the documentary and his instagram photo doesn't need to change now.
And at the end of the fight into the post fight interviews just announced Jamahal Hill vs Alex Pereira for UFC 300 main event too!

Nothing as expected from the UFC 300 Q&A session on what the main event would be. It was just a tease as Anik said they don't know what it will be but he wanted it to be Justin & Max to be the main. 
All the eyes will be on UFC 298 today as it is Topuria's day to see if his documentary which will release tomorrow will be justified to do so or if it was all for nothing.
Here are those markets for those who want to choose which coin they want to bet on:

Ilia Topuria's UFC 298 bout against volkanovski is a big deal for him, status wise and financially speaking as well.
Hes being reported to be set to earn atleast 500k $ , and more if he wins

Hes currently a small favorite at 1.87 odds, pretty good chance for him and i think its a great play

Dana white seems to be teasing everyone with the wait to announce UFC 300 headline event,
He said he MAYBE will announce it at the post UFC 298 conference
Many people think its certainly involving mc gregor, but dana doesnt seem to be any hurry to confirm anything.
Yeah, he said that in an interview with Kevin Iole.He said he MAYBE will announce it at the post UFC 298 conference

A video of the interview is included in the link.
Quote
In a recent interview with Kevin Iole, White shared his plan to announce the UFC 300 main event immediately after UFC 298 on Saturday.
I really thought he would announce it during the Super Bowl commercial but it didn't happen. Frustrating but maybe he thought its a waste of money.A lot of MMA fans are impatient and I think Dana White saw that and that's why he needs to announce it as soon as possible before it gets crazy.
Quote
UFC Middleweight Champion Dricus du Plessis could feature in the main event against Israel Adesanya. After initially hinting at a multiple-year hiatus, Adesanya has pivoted on that proclamation and wants to return sometime in 2024.
I want to see this happen. Dana White may have been meeting with these two and I bet they will be both ready at that time. The Stylebender had been training nonstop and I think he is also growing impatient to get back his belt one more time against Du Plessis.
I am a bit excited and scared about the upcoming lineup of UFC 300. I mean, what if it's not a satisfactory line? That will be frustrating. I hope he is taking this seriously because the expectations are high.
Nothing more.
You see during this presser right at the end Jon Anik mentioned they will have a press conference for UFC 300.
So they are hyping it up even more during these two main event before they are done?
They have been saying Dana will mention it during this and then nothing. It is just how he has everything on his side and he can promote the hell out of it all he wants at this point.
Even to the point people are analyzing the UFC 300 poster released a few days ago and have determined it definitely has to be Dricus due to the person's profile holding that flag having no tattoos on his arms.

UFC 298 Press Conference is going to be a good one to watch live. You know fighters with the likes of Ian Garry and Paulo Costa being in attendance up on stage, there are bound to be big and loud taunting going on.
Starting in a few hours we will have what should kick-off a monumental UFC main event:
UFC 298: Pre-Fight Press Conference
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ORoTVxxDY
Watched a couple of interviews with Topuria and he is very confident in his improvement with every fight.
From the fights I had watched he got knocked out once by Youssef Zalal in Abu Dhabi on fight island.
