“I’m young, I’m 27 years old, but I have 10 years like a professional, I have 15 years in this sport working so hard, I just dream all night of the belt around my waist. I just need to finish this guy.”

Brandon Moreno concluded, “If the fight is so hard and we go to the fourth, fifth round, but I get the knockout, obviously maybe the people want to see the third fight, but if I can finish this guy in the first one, in the second one, we can finish the rivalry right there.” {H/T MMA Figthing}
