Still so happy about the way Jason herzog raised Brandon’s hand and looked him like “ be proud “
it was a draw, figgy didnt won lol
It was a draw for the judges but in the eyes of the referee "Herzog", Moreno was definitely the winner.
@@aslimerenjamir6609 are you his girlfriend? How you know that? Btw when its a draw both fighters get their hands raised
*cries happily*
He only got the draw because of the point deduction. Granted Figgy screwed up and lost a point but the fight wasn’t a draw the points made it a draw.
I'm actually so jealous of Brandon Moreno's life. He fights and collects toys and is loving every second of it
Beautiful wife and kids, humble yet hungry attitude and worked his way to the top after some tough spots. He’s got a great story.
Don't be jealous the universe gives everyone what's he deserve
@Crisis Cast Dot Com can you explain what beta means?

I respect figgy but I really want this kid to win
Same here....
Viva Mexico cabrones!🇲🇽🙋♂️
Ye same it's going to be another war
First Mexican champion + trilogy fight
@@madgavin7568 exactly lol everybody would win
He's this young and has 3 children , he's like a Mexican Darren Till
Haha he's Mexican es normal
hes almost 30 lol
Nah he’s Brandon Moreno just all round MEXICAN FIGHTER.
If he was a real Mexican, it would be 5 kids.
@@KickingAssDaily 😂😂😂😂
Moreno is scrappy, skilled, and strong. There are a lot of good mexican fighters rn.
@Rainbow Dirt i’ve seen you comment negative shit on so many MMA videos. I really hope you get a job or find some friends because I can’t imagine how lonely you are that you resort to saying stupid shit under every comment
@Rainbow Dirt I think he means Mexican Americans as well. Like gastelum, diaz bros, ferguson
@Rainbow Dirt Brian Ortega reps mexico,Also wait till yair smokes Max 🤣
@Rainbow Dirt cain was the first mexican to hold a title dummy lol ortega, yair, kelvin, nate, moreno... there are plenty of good Mexican bread fighters nigga
@Nightmare he struggles to make weight and the same will happen
I have a feeling that Brandon Moreno is going to pull off a Thug Rose move during UFC263
me too but its a right hand
@Abderrahman Rassi guru army 👊🏾
I want him to win but idk figgy is a tough one
Moreno can do it. He has the skills to beat him. Moreno has the punching power to hurt him as well. 🇲🇽🥊🥊💪🏾💯
@@ilovegrapes4101 Moreno already beat him
For me this was the fight of the year especially how the men’s flyweight division was going to be scratched out so for this guys to keep it relevant is great.
@Brett S well he did but he didn’t fight this new generation of flyweights same goes for Henry. Plus Mighty Mouse problem was that he wasn’t promoted well .
@Brett S yea, everything seems more competitive once the most dominate champion ever leaves. Same thing happened when GSP retired the division blew up champions left and right, good fights to look forward too.
Zhang vs Joanna?
@@AGC4 yeah is one of the best but my opinion is Moreno vs figueiredo .
@@Cave_manbjj it felt like a literal WAR, and both corners were being so loud and the whole fight was just insane altogether
I love the way how Moreno talk about Deiveson Figueiredo: "He's a human being, he's not a god, he can be defeated." :)
I love the way you work it No diggityyyy, I got to bag it up, bag it up, babeeee............. I started reading your comment like that song. coooooool
@@cashruleseam7336 Thank you. :)
Never heard of Moreno until the Figuieredo fight. He earned my respect that night. I'm a huge fan now, the heart and chin on this kid is unreal.
Them Mexican Genes
Brandon Moreno is really good guy! He seems very genuine.
Brandon is a great mexican warrior . Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
The god of war vs the assassin baby was top 3 greatest fights I’ve ever seen live
i used to have a top 3 list but now i just cant rank fights anymore too many great fights
@@dailydoseofmma1512 Yeah it gets harder when another great fight comes along
god vs baby 😅🤣
@@paulmalapit4240 lol talk shit now.
They better upload the full fight soon, everyone who missed it is in for a treat.
I’ve seen it twice and would definitely watch a third time!
I’ve watched it so many times on my ESPN, never gets old
For the few people who saw it live, it was a life changing fight
@@thetruth5357 it really was crazy
Go to ESPN
My hermano let’s go out there n show the world what’s ours our heart is with you carnal yessir 🇲🇽🩸💯🔥Saludos carnal PARA MEXICO
@InnKolddBludd yes

Let's go Mexico! Viva Mexico! Love from Nagaland!

Didn't know moreno is a geek it's awsome
This dude is probably one of the most likable guys in the past 10 years. I hope he gets the title it will really bring UFC to another height. Definitely my favorite fighter now
Bro I love that he has a bunch of toys in his 20’s I have an uncle in his 40’s really successful, and reminds me of Moreno . Really humble, Successful but never looses his inner kid.
this guy is amazing, he definitely deserves to be the champion.
*Only the OG UFC Fans remember “the assassin baby” back in TUF* ... One of the Most down to earth fighters
Back when he would have conversation with the Brazilian fighters, thinking they could communicate well enough, but the subtitles showed they were having two completely different conversations with one another. That was the funniest thing ever.
That wasn’t even that long ago lol you gotta go a lot further back to be an OG fan
@@Bbknuckles give me a brake... just be a fucking Fan... why feel the need to seperate yourself from new Fans?
@Cuba buba better than McLovin, like everyone would refer to him
@@ronburgundy2383 I didn’t bring it up. Did you not read the original comment? I simply corrected him.
Mexicans have always been great fighters!!! The only reason there’s no many successful Mexican mma fighters is because there’s not many mma gyms in Mexico!!!! Hopefully that changes soon!!!!
I wouldn’t say that. I’ve trained in some, they are just scarce. Here in Monterrey there are at least 3 mma gyms.
@@marcocortes9968 Only 3, and in Monterrey, which is one of the top cities in Mexico.
@@adriel68 at least 3* I know there are many more. But yea, monterrey is one of the more international ones. I know in CDMX there are gyms as well. But as you mentioned, they are one of the top cities.
So Cain is Mexican. He was Champion? Doesn’t that count??
@@bellaing6963 Cain is a Mexican American. He was born in the US. For native Mexicans, Cain, The Diaz Bros, Tony... are considered like la raza, Mexican blood, but not as full of a Mexican as Moreno. Dana White once said about Moreno: He’s a Mexican, a real Mexican fighter. He came from Mexico. And he kept insisting on that. Well, consider it this way: Moreno is a rough diamond found in a mining area down in Tijuana. Cain, on the other hand, is as well polished one on top of an expensive ring on sale in a luxurious shop in LA.
Love the English improvement will definitely help his marketing
as a Mexican, he makes me so proud and i hope he wins the belt in the next fight
And he did 🎉🎉🎉
He's a genuine likable guy n i truly feel excited for this rematch more than the main event! Always root for the challenger and i hope his determination will paid in full💪
One of the most legendary performances In MMA history from Moreno in their first fight.
Finally a Mexican UFC champion!!!
Easily best fight of 2020.
That's Joanna vs Weili
Dana....I'm very playful today!
@@MMA_CAT This was a better fight because there was more skill on display also wtf ^
Dustin and Hooker...am I a joke to you!?!?! Lol
@@bOOSTEDjOSH Agreed...But I say all of them in their own ways. Dustin and Hooker fight was a barn burner 🔥💯👏🏾💪🏾
Moreno a true Mexican like us, hes an inspiration to keep it real We neex him to become the flyweight champ lets goo...
Moreno v Figuerado was the best fight I've seen in 10 years! The intuitive movements of each fighter lead to beautiful exchanges and the intensity of every strike increased as time went on. It's as if they both were in spirit form doing what they know best. A violent dance have you will. Both fighters are leaps and bounds ahead of their peers.
Moreno is a great guy. So positive and always comes across as happy.
That first fight had me so invested while I was watching. I remember jumping out my seat and having chills when Moreno almost won it for his people. I can’t wait for the second one. I hope he pulls the upset.
¡Vamos Brandon Moreno! Sos el nuevo campeón... ¡Viva Mexico cabrones! Saludos desde Argentina.
es increíble como los mexicanos son boxeadores natos hasta en la ufc 😐
Literally the fight I’m most excited for this summer. Figgy and Moreno always deliver with the action
Im waiting for Moreno v Fig, and Yair v Max . 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
@@GypsiAAA I'm pretty excited for nganou vs Lewis
You can do it Brandon!!!! It's a True honor to be a fan of yours Moreno!!! The belt will be yours soon 🇲🇽🥊🥊💪🏾💯🏆👏🏾
This kid is a warrior. The way he fought through the pain and figuredo pressuring him the whole fight made me a fan instantly. I'm not missing the second fight.
Moreno win this time and become new champion mark my words
My grandpa and all my family are Moreno, we'll be watching make us proud primo!!!!
The people's main event this time at UFC 263 Last time they were underestimating the fight and it turned to be the best fight you've seen I am so excited for the rematch i am legit shaking it's gonna be legendary hopefully
Bad news usually when the first fight is a war it’s usually one sided the next time around
@@Windchamber Not this 1. Fig stalks his opponents and Moreno is a mexican who can take em all day and give em back.
This, nobody who watched the first fight cares about Izzy vs Vettori 2 over Figgy vs Moreno 2.
@@tsunax1400 fr if the figgy fight crazy not even worth to watch the vettori fight
@@kenzopeypers738 mark my words that being said I think Moreno wins
Brandon Moreno has a really aesthetically pleasing style, even the way he keeps his guard up and the way he moves, it’s really fun to watch.
“I learn I’m about myself I’m tough” sheesh what a quote
real ones know this is the real main event
I like this guy. Seems smart and if all goes well for him, he will have a great career.
Man this dude is so genuine and cool I hope he wins this fight. It’s gonna be a tough one. Let’s go!!!!
Verdade tienen sangre los mexicanos. Saludos desde Brasil.
🐔🐣🐤
👌🏼🤙🏼
And he fucking did it, legend.
Who’s here after Moreno dominated Figgy in all rounds. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Estuviste genial y te apoyamos todos los mexicanos adictos al MMA... Sabemos que harás una gran pelea. ANIMO Y ECHALE GANAS!!!! 🇲🇽 El próximo campeón UFC 100%mexicano
I still remember watching that fight by myself no distractions it was unreal
One of the most earnest and flat out likeable fellows anywhere. Contagious positivity.
This kid is dynamite. He's grown so much since day 1 in the UFC when I first discovered him but he's always had my attention since day 1, as well.
I’m kinda worried about Moreno keeping his family in Tijuana as he continues to move up
Is it really that dangerous?
@@demonicghostbusters398 really dangerous
@@demonicghostbusters398 Unfortunately Mexico as a whole, beside small tourist areas aren’t the safest. Especially if you have fame and money behind you.
@@demonicghostbusters398 Cartels usually target people with money so yea it could be pretty dangerous for him to stay in Mexico
@@demonicghostbusters398 Dude,its the most dangerous city in the world.
I enjoy brandon’s attitude. His hard work is paying off. God bless him and his family.
Nerd, Great Father, Humble & Great Fighter. It's sad that his The Ultimate Fighter Run was cut short but he finally got everybody respect.
I didn't expect the first fight to be a total war. May the best man win.
Moreno.. I'm a big fan of yours... He wants to do something for his country....
Most underappreciated fighter in the ufc
He’s such a cool guy. I wish Moreno all the best
Love McLovin guy!
the 1st fight had me on the edge of my seat the whole time until it ended. it was like lawler and mcdonald, jones vs gustaffson 1, edgar vs maynard trilogy
An absolute warrior. Going into the fight, Figureido was my favourite FW... After that fight, it became Moreno. Them Mexicans are all heart. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
It was such a phenomenal fight, both fellas really put it all on the line that night and were both right to hold each others hands up after the fight was finished... a great fight and one i go back and watch again. I'm very excited for the rematch and won't be surprised if Moreno gets his hand raised this time as he looked so good first time round. 🥋🤙
That fight was insane. I'm rooting for him in the rematch!
Brandon Moreno my favorite Flyweight ever !!
You are the best fighter Bro ever... love to see... from Nepal 🇳🇵🇳🇵👍👍🙏🙏
Became of fan of him on TUF went from making piñatas to feed his his family while training mma to being part of one of the best fights in UFC history I’m so happy seeing him get his condo and get some recognition
When he talked about how he got a bigger house and was respected in his country/city alongside the Mexican boxing legends I teared up ngl
stoked for this one!
I like how Brandon collects and builds Legos that shuts cool.
Love from Tucson Brandon make us proud 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
lets go Moreno !!!!
I cant wait to see the rematch me & my husband will be there in person. MexicanPride💕
After watching this kid have the closest fight on TUF tournament of champions, to watching him debut and win as a huge underdog before the season he was on even ended, you always got the feeling this kid would be champion level in the ufc one day. Couldn't be more happy for him.
So humble,Rooting for this guy. First fight was amazing
This guy is a living legend appreciate him
This is the fight I am most excited for from all announced fights so far. No idea how long it will go but it will be an exciting match.
Dude instantly became one of my fav fighters
I’m really happy for this dude. I remember watching him on the ultimate fighter a decade ago, thinking what a young killer da’vato would be
I'm more excited for the rematch than nate daiz fighting
i keep running into your comments gangsta grapes
yeah me too
@@saunajoe5973 I got nothing else to do 😂with online school I just wacth my phone all day
@@ilovegrapes4101 fax i do the same shit lmao
Brandon Moreno won that first fight
I love how he said "1st 100% mexican fighter mma champion" and no mexican-american said anything bad that made me proud of my people man
Respect for my brother brando moreno saludos desde san jose del cano🌎❤
This fight should be the main event 😬
Heart of a lion this guy. I like em
This was the top #3 UFC fight ever! I will never forget this fight ever.
Moreno did an outstanding job in the last match
"They robbed my boy moreno" "Le robaron a mi compa moreno"
Pinche fig casi se cagava en la decision 😒
I love you ufc
“I’m ready to go for the title” Yes you were good sir, you sure got that belt 👏👏👏
Fuckin gotta love Herzog lifting up Morenos hand after the draw what a og
Great fight. I can’t wait for the next one
I love this guy! This fight will be another banger and I hope he wins it.
Gracias México Campeón bendiciones 🙏
He didn't talk about the eye poke or the nut shot. What a class act. Don't matter what happens in the rematch, this guy is my flyweight champ!
This cats cool as hell, good luck my man and bring home that gold!!
Always loved the assassin baby! Ever since his season of tuf. So excited for this fight
It's people like Moreno that make me proud to raise my flag, and not speaking about the fame or any of that, just the quality of a human being that he is. ¡Ánimo Moreno, tu gente te apoya y estamos orgullosos de ti!
The Moreno Figgy fight was the fight of 2020 for me. It kinda came out of nowhere, not alot of promo, and the action was nonstop. He showed so much heart. I want to see him get better and better.
Dude is like one year younger and has so many children what a chad
thats how it is in mexico
Moreno can pull this win off, I hope he does c
Mad respect to Morano. He is a fighter in every sense of the word
How could you not love this guy
