In an interview with the North American website MMAJunkie, Brandon Moreno stated that Pantoja is entering dangerous territory with this type of statement and denied being afraid of the Brazilian despite the two defeats suffered in the past.
“I think this kid is making a big mistake by saying I'm scared of him. I was never afraid. I don't know if I'm too brave or too stupid, but I've never been afraid. Much less so now that I'm in the best moment of my life. I'm 27 years old and I've never felt as good as I do now. I can't deny the truth. He defeated me twice and I can't let go of that. It's there in my cartel and in the story of my life and my career. The only thing I can control is the present and continue to evolve as I have done so far. I haven't received any official proposal, but if it is Alexandre pantoja, he is making a big mistake saying that I am scared of him, because that is a lie”, said the champion.
Alexandre pantoja derrotou Brandon Moreno at UFC Fight Night 129, in May 2018 and during their participation in the reality show The Ultimate Fighter. Moreno stated that he hopes the Brazilian will be his next opponent, but that he has no feeling of revenge.
“Yes (I would like a rematch), but not because I'm angry or because I want to defeat him because of my ego because he defeated me. Not this way. I would like to face him to see how much I have evolved and prove to myself and everyone how far I have come in this sport”, concluded the Mexican.
