“I feel a little frustrated, because obviously I want to put this in my legacy. Having my hand raised in front of my people, in front of my Mexican flag. And that. It's something that happened in the past and I just try to turn the page. It's frustrating, but I've been living with a lot of pressure since 2020, fighting for championships, rematches and trilogies. I'm just trying to have fun in this one. At the same time, I understand the importance that this fight has for my record at this moment. I'm focusing on Brandon royval. I’m focused on the challenge ahead and that’s it,” said Brandon.

In two fights wearing Ultimate gloves in his home country, Moreno suffered a defeat, against Sergio Pettis, and a draw (with Askar askarov). At the UFC Mexico, which takes place this Saturday (24), the 'Killer Baby' will measure forces against Brandon royval in the main fight of the show.
