Brandon Moreno reminisced in 2022 concerning the negative feeling from his only street fight.
Moreno could have little interest in fighting on the White House, but the placement for his next bout is understandably something meaning quite a bit to him.
On February 28, he’ll headline UFC Mexico City in what is bound to be one other stunning homecoming for the previous flyweight champion.
Fighting in his home country is nothing latest to ‘The Assassin Baby’, but brawling on the streets isn’t something he’s well-versed in or enjoys, as he revealed several years ago.

Brandon Moreno didn’t like how he felt after winning his only street fight with only one punch
Brandon Moreno didn’t take any joy in winning a street fight against someone that he doesn’t consider knew what they were doing.
The previous UFC flyweight champion was asked by a fan during an appearance on Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast in 2022 to supply some suggestions.
His response was to avoid fighting within the streets, before he went on to inform the story of the one and only time he found himself in this example back when he was 15 or 16 years old.
Moreno’s repeated tackling of 1 individual in a soccer match led to the person getting in his face, just for ‘The Assassin Baby’ to drop his aggressor to the ground with one jab.
“I don’t feel good, man,” he recalled. “Because, once I fight with some guy who I do know knows the way to fight and I beat him, it’s like, ‘Okay’. I don’t feel good once I try this like I remember I saw the guy on the bottom like, ‘No, man, that’s effective. I don’t want more problems, man. The whole lot is effective’. I went out of the sector and I went to my house and I felt weird.”
Moreno said that he’d been training for 2-3 years at that time, but with the ability to beat people up wasn’t why he pursued martial arts.
He went on so as to add that proving people unsuitable is something that motivates him quite a bit, referencing how people who he grew up with were surprised that he decided to turn into knowledgeable fighter.
“I like that because I proved they were unsuitable,” Moreno said.

Brandon Moreno has essentially the most UFC fights within the history of the flyweight division
Brandon Moreno could also be inexperienced in terms of fighting on the streets but he lets his skills do the talking contained in the Octagon.
This weekend’s most important event, where he faces Lone’er Kavanagh, will probably be the twentieth time that he’s competed for the leading MMA promotion.
No flyweight fighter has ever collected more UFC bouts under their belt than the previous two-time champion.
