Moreno Returns To Hero’s Welcome

Surround yourself with people who will support you the way Entram Gym supports Brandon Moreno.

The newly-crowned UFC flyweight champion returned home to Tijuana, Mexico after capturing the 125-pound title from Brazilian nemesis Deiveson Figueiredo in the UFC 263 co-main event earlier this month in Glendale, and not only did “The Assassin Baby” get a hero’s welcome, he also got his own mariachi band.

Special shoutout to the dude who scored himself a Moreno tattoo.

“I definitely feel the doors are open right now for him to walk through in a multitude of facets,” manager Jason House told MMA Junkie. “I think, one, he’s going to be the torch bearer of MMA into Mexico. Now that they have a Mexico-born champion, the country is really going to rally behind Brandon. That’s going to be very good on one end. On a second end, I think it’s going to open up a lot of possibilities for him. Being the first Mexican champion, he’s really going to propel himself into stardom.”

Moreno is expected to make his first flyweight title defense later this year.
