“Thinking about my first fight, I tried to be very careful, respecting the reputation of being an 'incredible fighter'. However, in the second fight, I already knew what it would be like and I was more confident in my abilities to do my job”, highlighted Moreno in an interview on 'half day'.

Despite having already trained with Henry Cejudo in the past, Brandon Moreno saw the relationship shake after 'Triple C' helped prepare Deiveson Figueiredo at 'Fight Ready'. Still, the Mexican stated that he is prepared and has improved since the first meeting.

“I don’t think (he’s a different fighter). Now he is training in Arizona (in the United States), with a new team. I hope it comes with some varieties of moves, maybe with new weapons. He is training with Henry Cejudo – which I’ve known for some time –, but I’m ready for all of this”, he concluded.

In addition to the third fight between Brandon Moreno e Deiveson Figueiredo for the flyweight title (up to 56,7kg.), the UFC 270 also features a duel between Francis Ngannou e Cyryl Gane, which is worth unifying the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg.), in the main fight of the night.
