I like to be very focused on the challenge ahead, but I understand what could happen if I win. I saw that Pantoja wants to fight in Brazil and I understand that he is from the country. Yes, you never know, the thing is that the date is very close, but if I finish the fight in the first round and I'm healthy, why not? Let's go. I'm that kind of crazy guy. So yeah, let's cross our fingers. If I can finish the fight in a healthy way, we can do this,” said Moreno in an interview with 'Ag. Fight'.
