Brandon Moreno wants to defend UFC title vs. Alexandre Pantoja in Mexico: ‘The ideal scenario’

Flyweight champion Brandon Moreno wants to bring a UFC pay-per-view event to Mexico.

Moreno is looking to make the first title defense of his second stint as champion on home soil and against a man he’s lost to before in Alexandre Pantoja.

Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) is hoping to be more active than he’s been in recent years, so ideally he’d like to return in the summer. However, if the UFC were to pay a visit to Mexico during their independence month of September, Moreno would be more than happy to wait.
