Brandon Moreno MMA Record

Going into this co-main event bout at UFC 290, Brandon Moreno is priced as the -200 betting favorite to win the fight outright with the best offshore gambling sites. His opponent, the challenger Alexandre Pantoja is of course the underdog with the best US sportsbooks.

Brandon Moreno turned professional back in 2011 with a debut victory against Atiq Jihad in Tijuana, Mexico. Since then, Moreno has had another 26 professional MMA fights, winning all but six of them.

Moreno’s career has been nothing short of magnificent to date. The Mexican is the reigning UFC Featherweight Champion, having become a two-time world champion after defeating Deiveson Figueiredo for the second time in their fourth bout last time out.

‘The Assassin Baby’ is without a doubt one of the most skilful fighters at flyweight, of that there is no question. His career up to now has been sensational, and he still has some big nights ahead of him. Especially if he can successfully defend his belt this Saturday night.

As previously mentioned, Brandon Moreno made his professional MMA debut over a decade ago now. He was on a UWC Mexico 9.5 card where he made the perfect start to his career by winning via submission. Moreno then had 13 more fights as a pro MMA fighter before signing a deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

Brandon Moreno had a decent start to his tenure in the UFC. He won his first three straight fights in the UFC, including two submissions. However, he suffered back-to-back defeats to Sergio Pettis and Saturday’s opponent, Alexandre Pantoja, and was cut from the UFC roster.

That didn’t phase Moreno by any means. He won the LFA Flyweight Championship, before bouncing back into the UFC after being given another chance by President Dana White. He drew his first fight back with Askar Askarov, before winning three consecutive fights and getting his shot at UFC gold.

His first fight against Deiveson Figueiredo was next for the UFC Flyweight Title. The fight was deemed a draw, so the pair had an immediate rematch next at UFC 263 in June 2021. This time, Moreno’s dreams became a reality as he defeat the Brazilian via submission, becoming the undisputed UFC Flyweight Champion.

However, Figueiredo got his revenge next time, beating ‘The Assassin Baby’ by decision at UFC 270. Moreno then knocked out Kai Kara-France in their rematch at UFC 277 last July, before throwing down with Figueiredo for a fourth time last time out.

This time, Moreno ended the epic four-fight battle with his Brazilian counterpart, winning emphatically via TKO in the third round of their bout at UFC 283 in Figueiredo’s hometown of Rio de Janeiro. That takes us up to now in the career of Brandon Moreno, who will be looking for revenge this weekend against Pantoja.

Moreno faces a man he has previously lost to in Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 29o at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. Should he win this fight, he will further solidify himself as the best 125-pound fighter on the planet.

The list of names he has defeated is pretty impressive. Deiveson Figueiredo twice, Kai Kara-France on two occasions, Brandon Royval and Jussie Formiga are just some of the stellar names Moreno has defeated.
