UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno’s sights are set on Alexandre Pantoja, but that doesn’t mean he’s unaware of his surroundings.
Moreno returns July 8 as he looks to defend his title in the co-main event of UFC 290. It’s a big fight for obvious reasons but also because of the shot at redemption.
Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) has lost twice to Pantoja (25-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC): Once in an exhibition bout, part of their run in “The Ultimate Fighter 24,” and the other at UFC Fight Night 129 in 2018.
