How Moreno’s outlook looks after UFC290

FUTURE OPTIONS

The 125-pounds have great prospects, but very few established figures. If the promotion is looking for a championship fight before the end of the year, Pantoja-Moreno 4 is the best option for a guaranteed sale.

We will have to wait for the conditions of the recovery of the Tijuana native, who fractured his right hand in the first round and had to adjust his foot attacks to the jab and elbows to continue in contention.

At the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024 it would make sense to face them again, but it could be unfair to the division, since all the championship fights since December 2020 to date have involved the Mexican, even when he comes from losing.

Someone like Amir Albazi or Manel Kape could bring freshness to the contest and now with the change in the belt, even former champion Deiveson Figueiredo could put himself on the map.

A THREE ROUND FIGHT

Brandon is one of the great stars of the UFC globally, he is not only popular among Mexicans and the wars that he gives in the octagon have given new life to a category that the company planned to disappear in 2018.

Moreno could be a co-star on a pay-per-view card in a fight with any Top 5, in a fight that would represent a release of pressure, since three years ago he was preparing to fight 25 minutes with very exhausting camps, which have forced to make many adjustments in his life.

With constant changes in his corner since UFC 263, Moreno could take a “break” from championship fights to come back stronger.

THE LETTER FROM HENRY CEJUDO

The situation is no longer just gossip, Henry Cejudo is back and his constant criticism of Brandon Moreno has exceeded personal limits.

Now that Henry had to get out of the contender’s fight against Chito Vera, it is time to take advantage of the rivalry that the former champion has generated on his own account and make a fight that could generate great expectations among the fans.

Brandon has already said it, if Cejudo really wants to fight it could happen at 135 pounds, because it seems difficult for him to cut back to flyweight. No belts or titles, just two rivals wanting to fight, a fight that many people want to see and can be stellar in many cities, including Mexico City.
