Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja
The number 3rd ranked UFC Flyweight fighter, Alexandre Pantoja called out the UFC Flyweight champion, Brandon Moreno following his latest win against Brandon Royval on UFC on ESPN: Cannonier vs Gastelum.
Pantoja said, “I’m the next for the title – he knows that, Maybe he retires. I don’t know what’s in his mind. But he knows me and he knows my power with my hands and my grappling. I think I’m the most dangerous guy in that division.”
Moreno was sitting ringside while Alexandre Pantoja was calling him out and he just smiled at him. But in his latest interview with MMA Junkie, ‘The Assassin Baby’ warned Pantoja about his recent comments.
Brandon Moreno says, “I think this kid is making a big mistake saying I’m scared of him, I’ve never been afraid. I don’t know if I’m too brave or too stupid, but I’ve never been scared, and much less now that I feel at the best point of my life. I’m 27 years old, and I’ve never felt as good as I feel now.”
“I can’t deny the truth. He beat me twice, and I’m not going to be able to shake that off. That’s there, that’s on the record and on the history of my life and career. The only thing I can control is the present and keep advancing and evolving as I’ve done until now. I haven’t received an official offer, but if it’s Alexander Pantoja, he’s making a big mistake saying I’m scared of him because that’s a lie.” {H/T MMA Junkie}
Brandon Moreno is ready to face Alexandre Pantoja in December
‘The Assassin Baby’ Brando Moreno holds two losses against Pantoja but he believes every loss makes him even better and he is a different person now. He added,
“He’s not waking anything up in me, I’m good, “I’m always focused and I’m always very happy, but he is waking up something in the other guy. And the other guy doesn’t play games. I’m cool, I’m relaxed, but the other guy is not. Don’t play with him.”
Although the champ hasn’t received any official letter from UFC until now for his next opponent but he is ready to face Alexandre Pantoja in December. Brandon Moreno concluded,
“Yeah, I’d like a rematch but not in a way that I’m angry or from my ego wanting to beat him because he defeated me, Not in that manner. I would like that fight to see how much I’ve evolved and prove to myself and also to the people how far I’ve come in this sport.” {H/T MMA Junkie}
