Mexican flyweight champion and a beloved figure whose emotional four-fight series with Deiveson Figueiredo produced some of the UFC's most dramatic and entertaining championship bouts.
Brandon Moreno is Mexico's first UFC champion, a flyweight who claimed the title with a dominant submission finish of Deiveson Figueiredo in their trilogy. A cheerful and likeable figure who nearly retired before his breakthrough, Moreno's combination of elite submission grappling, technical striking, and exceptional heart have made him a fan favourite and one of the most celebrated fighters in Mexico's sporting history.
