The 26-year-old English prospect weathered Moreno’s pressure early, wobbled him in Round 2 with a massive counter combination, and controlled key moments down the stretch with sharp jabs, leg kicks, and disciplined defense against takedown attempts. #ufcmexico #brandonmoreno #ufc For Moreno, the loss marks back-to-back setbacks following his December knockout defeat to Tatsuro Taira — a tough stretch for the former champion who entered the bout as a betting favorite. In the co-main event, David Martinez continued his rise at bantamweight with a unanimous decision win over Marlon “Chito” Vera (29-28 across the board).
