#UFC
I was in the crowd for this fight and i swear its the happiest ive ever been for another person in my life. brandons journey is something to behold
cus there is mad mexicans in Az
@@felixsaldana6705 wtf does that have to do with any word i said💀
Why?
@@shanekerr9705 I think he was saying Brandon is a mad man from Arizona.
@@GateKeeper36 brandons from tijuana mexico bro🤣
im not even mexican but i sure as hell felt like one that night
Straight Up!! 💯
i sat next to a mexican family in the crowd and we were all chanting MEXICO! made me feel like a whole different race that night
Mad love to y’all man fr.
Every none Mexican watching that night: Viva Mexico Cabrones!!!
Felt like a Mexican ? Did you fall asleep ?
Heart warming seeing the recently former champ hoisting the new champ up, fantastic sportsmanship
Yea I didn’t remember that. I clicked for that good choice on thumbnail
He knows how good that feeling is to finally become a champion. Can’t believe some people get pissed of when they loose the belt and try to ruin it for the new champ.
@OohOoh AhAh chill 🤣
Great sportsmanship!
He was pulled over by the ref to do it, kinda odd move by him tbh
He didn't believe it at first, then it sank in he had become UFC champion!!! One of the greatest moments in UFC history!!!! Felicidades Brandon!!!! Viva México!!!
Weird how all these Mexican men are the size of 4th graders
@@mikehunt7586 Yeah and they would all whoop your ass.
@@ettorebugatti9354 look at his other comments, he clearly just doesn’t like non whites 😂
Still get goosebumps everytime I see it.
@@mikehunt7586 weird how you not only have such fragile masculinity that you felt compelled to try and take them down a notch but that you'd possess such a childish screen name in the process. Almost as if choosing a 4th grader was indeed you projecting your own mental capacity.
Loved it. How Figueiredo lifted Brandon, no anger, he lost, but he was happy for his opponent. Dude is pure class.
Lmao no he’s not
@@suppaman12 yeah then you tell us since you know how he felt
@@goead frustrated and angry that he lost… you don’t know a warrior if you think he’s “happy” because he lost
@@suppaman12 True. Sportmanship, yes. Happy? No fking way
@@suppaman12 shut up please
man everytime i see this i tear up a little. Moreno is definition of hard work will get u everywhere
Being in the crowd in Nashville when he said on the mic “ one day i will be champion!” i always kept that in my head watching his fights. Seeing it happen is mind boggling
That’s pretty crazy tbh. You’re lucky to have experienced that
@@ragemythics2354 being a huge mma fan and never being able to go to events and see the ufc stuff myself, im very lucky to have witnessed it
This made me tear up with joy, love to see such a good guy suceed.
I knew Brandon Moreno was going to be a PROBLEM when be was on TUF..such a nice guy but such a killer. Some of the best boxing in the game
@Michael Thomas fair! I would love to see Cejudo vs Moreno. That would be an amazing fight
So did you put a bet on him becoming champ? Would've got serious odds especially considering how the show and after went. He's one hell of a scrapper that's for sure.
@Michael Thomas yeah not its not. Moreno has superior striking and ground game, so Cejudo can try and wrestle all he wants.
@@brazenlilhussy5975 yeah i bet like 20 bucks on him and won a decent amount i dont recall how much. I actually bet on Julianna Pena last week as well.. She was a +650 underdog at the time of my bet tol
@Michael Thomas so you agree the UFC needs to implement a tournament system? Why not!? They kind of already do it but its not official
Such a great moment for this tuff Mexican kid and what an animal this kid had to beat to get to his dream. One of my favourite winning ufc moment's ever and I've watched ufc since tank abbot.
Man went to war with a final boss type fighter and won man I was so happy for Brandon
Both fighters showed a lot of class. Bravo!
As a Latino American, this made me very happy. Brandon is a beast and he deserves it.
So I can be happy whenever a white man becomes champion..? Or is that racist? Im happy watching boxing and kickboxing since most the champs are white
@@mikehunt7586 it's not that deep bro
@@alejandroalvarado1492 dudes phishing.
@@mikehunt7586 here you go, some more attention for you kid. There is a difference, you're too ignorant to know what it is though, 4th grade mentality and all.
Why do you have to be Latino American? Why can’t you be just an American? How ignorant
That was phenomenal, I actually cried. He filled his promise. Stay blessed brother....
I attended this fight, I found myself crying, it was an emotional moment, Brandon really deserved this win. His journey is a motivation
Amazing performance. Real championship mentality
Man this shit was beautiful to see live in person! The energy was insane after he won
I can imagine! I was Bisping lvl happy for Moreno watching this.
Devieson lifting him up when Brandon won the title I love to see that Respect ✊🏻
He be talking trash ahead of the trilogy tho lol.
@WLR literally lmao. You can clearly see there’s love and respect there lol, you’re not gonna sell fights saying how good of a fighter and person your opponent is 😂😂
Thank you, UFC.
❤️❤️❤️
Still getting goosebumps watching it
Will be one of my favorite moments of all time forever. How can you not be happy for this kid
I cried with moreno se sintio en todo mexico!
So good to see this crowning moment for Brandon Moreno, the pride of Mexico in MMA
Moreno and Oliveira becoming champions are the most wholesome moments in UFC history
I just cried ….. AGAIN. This has to be top 3 most wholesome victory celebration. Literally a movie
This was such a special fight. And that HAS to be the classiest post-fight sportsmanship I've EVER seen from the person who just lost their championship. Brandon had the heart, the skill, and the will to win. So did Figueiredo, but for him to not only smile for Brandon's victory, but to lift him up like he did, it gives you a glimmer of hope for humanity.
The way he got his legs in at 3:09 is a thing of beauty! Congrats Brandon, Mexico’s champ!! 🇲🇽
Moreno is the true example of hard work
Love his striking style/guard and hand movement , hopefully gets the win again
This was a great fight, great win, great to see Moreno's reaction, and great fucking sportsmanship from Figueredo. What a great moment in time. I couldn't be any happier for someone to win a title the way this came to life.
I was in the crowd at UFC 263 and I was so happy for him to achieve his dream. Brandon's journey has been amazing!
Gotta be favourite championship fight of 2021, meybe even favourite card. Figi was so humble in defeat and Moreno, heavily looked past earned the hell out of that belt. The absolute pinnacle of why MMA is such a great sport.
"TIJUANA! YOU HAVE A CHAMPION!" music to my ears
Jon Anik's calls are always so memorable.
these flyweights are super technical and a lot of them have knock-out power too like Kara-France and Figgy
The scrambles on the floor were absolutely ridiculous omg.
Slick striking plus best grappler in a division that also features Askar Askarov = UFC gold.
Truly amazing fight and I love the energy figueredo had for him after it was over. Nothing but love and respect after a brawl
One of the best fight ever all categories combined.
I really hope Brandon Moreno's reign as champion brings more attention to Men's Flyweight, its such an underrated and overlooked division.
The picture of him with the belt is definitely one of the best photos of 2021 mma. Also Moreno's daughter with the headphones on looks hilarious for some reason.
Had me in tears. Viva Mexico, our awesome neighbor!
As a Latino Irish Mexican I completely understand how he feels. Branson will stay champ for a long time
This dude deserves that belt, excited to see him defend
His octagon interview made me cry . Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
All the way from Kenya, been following you being veterans tearing up Brandon, but this champ had got a heart. May Allah keep you in the reign
Mis respetos para este brasileño, que humildad para perder, aveces se me olvida que los brasileños son unas personas muy cálidas y humildes. Que viva Brasil y su gente !!
I think that I saw Lionel Messi as well congratulating Moreno😁😁😁😁
kudos to moreno winning and to deiveson taking a loss like a pro thats just good sportsmanship right there on both sides
Such a beautiful moment. Moreno seems so humble and truly appreciative of his win. No bravado or fake toughness. Already a wise man at such a young age… wish him a long career with many more moments like this.
This card was pretty epic
Congratulations to an awesome guy, it could not have happened to a better man. Always smiling. Now he has something to really smile about. Thanks brother
That's some crazy class by that man... Competitive sports has always been... We fight. We bleed. We gotta respect...
Annnnnnd New!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fly weight champion!!!!!!! I think I teared 😢 up when it happened.. Why? Because real recognize the hard work 😓 Dedication & outstanding will to keep going regardless of the odds. “ A rose 🌹 growing out of concrete “
Y uno todavía teniendo esperanza en la selección Mexicana, creo q hay q voltear a otros deportes 👏🏻👏🏻
Totalmente de acuerdo con tigo
After this performance I didn't think Figueiredo deserved another shot but I guess 125 has no better contender so, why not.
Bro they have Askar Askarov, Pantoja and France there in the top 5 that deserve more the title shot
@@jaimexd1269 but Askarov and Pantoja both hurt. France just beat Cody (after Fig fight was booked). It is what it is.
Always great to see guys who clearly aren't as naturally gifted as others around them do well
Let's go Brandon! 🇲🇽
Let's go Bandon!🇺🇸
@@JrRickard Es mexicano
@@misteralan0188 es un chiste. Es lo que le llaman as biden lmao
Mexico on the map!!! Warriors at heart.
He is such a likeable guy, so humble and down to earth dude but a straight up killer.
Such a huge fan of Brandon, and have been from day1. Great job and lots of love and respect from Korea =)
Beautiful. This was an amazing night.
First time I see alot of people on the right rooting for a Mexican. They keep chanting his name everywhere over and over, they can't get enough of this guy.
Superb. Two great ambassadors of the sport.
I love how when the ref stops the fight and Brandon gets up you can tell he cant comprehend what just happened. He just looks around at the arena. That’s a surreal moment
Wahnsinn... Keine Ahnung warum aber mir kamen Freude Tränen. Unfassbar sympathisch dieser Champion!
Maybe not today Maybe not tomorrow but I will be UFC Champion one day~ Brandon Moreno
Felt so happy for moreno watching the winning Mexican gold legend for ever.👍
Finally a Mexican got a belt. Took long enough. Too bad it was in a divison that no one cares about
Brandon eres gran guerrero mil bendiciones para ti y para tu familia que gran horgumullo siento al ser mexicano muchas gracias hermano que Díos te bendiga 👍
It's awesome that Brandon won it but on the other hand, figueiredo really didn't fight like himself. Hopefully he can fight better in the rematch
Makes me cry every time, good stuff
Pure class by the Brazilian much respect 🫡. Well we’ll done Moreno
Figuerdo was pure class here ,a true sportsman
The moments when he was in that daze give me goosebumps. Dream realized.
Just made me cry. What a champion. what motivation.
Figgy is a top class not just a fighter.. But a man too.. Who respected his opponent not just by congrats him but he lifted him and cheered for him.. Brazilian fighters always humble
Every championship fight should show this respect 🙏. It could have gone both ways and they both know that. Simply beautiful sportsmanship! Fucking love these guys! Both of them are incredible fighters.
My favorite win of the entire year!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Real man and real sportsmenship
Brandon's journey is awesome and I'm loving this spot with figueiredo, these two are about to make history and I'm all for it
Had the opportunity to train at the same gym Moreno started we sure got excited with every fight he went to we were all like a family, he surely deserves the title hard working people for sure!
May be not today and may be not tomorrow and may not next month but I am gonna be a champion one day....he said and well said....
Let's go Brandon
Lol, nice
Lmao stop
One of the best moment in ufc history🥰🥰🥰
One of the greatest moments. Love Brandon
Víva brandon moreno, saludos 🇨🇱
Moreno, Charles, Pena... the feel good championshiop wins this year had was surreal
Great respect for former champion an for new champion i watched this young man fight and said one day he will be champion! He is! Congrats
That look on his face after he won was like "No way did i just become champion"
Took him a moment to snap out of beast mode
Figu an enigma fr, how tf can someone be so small and so slow yet so poweful
(Dedicated) Talent + Humility = Greatness
U gotta love Moreno! Such an amazing moment.
#1 from malaysia asian fans
The best moment of this video is when Figgy went over and lifted Moreno to the crowd to let them celebrate. He knew Moreno deserved the belt and he was gonna let Brandon have his moment. Great respect between the two fighters
It’s so weird how one can tear up in happiness for another person’s success.
Biggest moment of 2021, no cap. That crowd pop was insane, didn't match up with any other finish this year imo.
Nunes getting dethroned was a big deal too but moreno is the man!!!
I am proud of you Brandon. You trully inspire others.
The most wholesome UFC Moment ever IMO... Moreno is a fucking G!!!
For being young fighter,he has lots of strength, and he is well loved he very humble and cute.....
In The Future His Name Is Gonna Be Legendary Names In Mexico Because His First Champion Of Mexico In UFC 👍🏅🏆💎🔥
When i saw how he looked on his walk out plus his song they made 4 him I knew bro was unstoppable that night
after the tap and the camera goes to the mamacita in the crowd cheering, you can here one of the commentators “oooh”
Who doesn't LOVE México doesn't LOVE latins Well done Brandon and kudos to you from the Dominican republic i'm saying God bless México 🇩🇴 que viva México cabrones
