Will fight Kevin Borjas
Chairez is set to face Kevin Borjas in a flyweight fight at Noche UFC on September 14, Danny Segura of MMA Junkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Chairez is coming off a victory after defeating Daniel Lacerda at UFC Fight Night in Mexico City back in February. Lacerda was considered a lower level opponent as he is winless after five bouts in the UFC. Edgar will now face Kevin Borjas, who is also looking for his first UFC victory after suffering defeats in his first two fights, recently losing Alessandro Costa via TKO at UFC 301 in Brazil.

Wins after huge weight miss
Chairez defeated Daniel Lacerda via submission (triangle choke) at 2:17 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Mexico City.
ANALYSIS
A victory in just over two minutes as a -500 favorite seems like a nice night at the office for Chairez, but then you take into account he was facing an opponent that entered winless in five (0-4, 1NC) UFC bouts. Oh, Chairez also missed weight by a mind-blowing five pounds Friday morning. Edgar lost on Dana White's Contender Series in August 2022 and was routed by top prospect Tatsuro Taira in his UFC debut last July. There's a better than even chance this result was simply the result of Chairez beating up on a low-level opponent.

Will fight despite big weight miss
Chairez's fight with Daniel Lacerda at UFC Mexico City will proceed after he weighed in at 131, five pounds over the flyweight limit, Danny Segura of MMAJunkie reports.
ANALYSIS
Chairez comes into this bout as an overwhelming favorite after the first meeting between these two ended in a no-contest due to the referee incorrectly believing that "Puro Chicali" made his opponent pass out from a choke. With all the momentum on his side, this is a baffling development, as this fight was first announced in November. It should be noted that Lacerda weighed in at 127 pounds, so both competitors will come in heavy. While this is only his second fight in the organization, it is likely that Chairez is on the hot seat after such a blunder. Both fighters will be fined as a result of their misses, but exact penalties are not yet known.
