Brandon Moreno reveals the meaning behind his tattoos

The tattoos of the former flyweight champion are pretty interesting to look at. First of all, the most striking ink that Brandon Moreno has is the tribal tattoo on his right shoulder. It also covers the majority of his back, which signifies his rich culture and heritage. Furthermore, the tribal tattoo is also a symbol of power, courage, protection, and strength.

Now, let us shift our attention to Moreno’s tattoo on his right forearm. He has the words ‘Jiu Jitsu‘ inked on him, commemorating his love for the martial arts discipline since he is a black belt in his own right. Meanwhile, one of the smallest tattoos Brandon Moreno has is a tattoo of the Disney character, Micky Mouse. It is located on the left side of his back, which not only shows the former champion’s love for the character but also represents joy, happiness, dreams, and fun.

Then there is a big tattoo on ‘The Assassin Baby’s right forearm. It is an ink of ‘Cuahtemoc‘, which is a famous monument in his native city of Tijuana, Mexico. Interestingly, Cuahtemoc was the last emperor of Mexica, a community of the Nahuatl-speaking people of the Valley of Mexico. Moreno also has a tattoo to signify the dedication of his daughters, Maddie Moreno, Megan Moreno, and Morgan Moreno.

Brandon Moreno also seems to be a fan of science. He has a hexagon star-like tattoo on his bicep as well. Then, there is this tower-cum-bridge tattoo called ‘the clock’ on his right shoulder, which is also a monument in Tijuana. Finally, the final tattoo that we will talk about is of a sword that Moreno has under his left forearm, with a Spanish inscription: “Este juego no us maraton es un sprint sin línea de meta,” meaning “This game is no marathon, it is a sprint without a finish line.”

‘The Assassin Baby’ once revealed the real meaning behind his tattoos and said that they remind him of his culture in Mexico and to remember the reason why he’s fighting to win. “I look at my tattoos and I remember my culture. I remember why I’m fighting, why I want to win,” said the Mexican star. While we have discussed his tattoos, let’s discuss his upcoming fight this weekend in Mexico City.

‘The Assassin Baby’ will take on Brandon Royval in a crucial rematch

Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval both lost their last fight. Moreover, their defeats came at the hands of the reigning flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja. While ‘The Cannibal’ defeated the former to win the title for the first time, he defeated the latter to mark his first successful title defense. In addition to that, Moreno has already defeated Royval once via knockout at UFC 255.

The rematch between Brandon Moreno and Brandon Royval has a lot at stake as it could potentially put either of the two fighters in title contention once again. However, ‘Raw Dawg’ seems to have an edge over the former champion with three wins in his last four fights compared to ‘The Assassin Baby’s two wins in his last four fights.

It will be interesting to see who comes on top this weekend with the Mexico City card having some other exciting fights as well. Will Moreno be able to come out on top to reclaim his title or will Royval avenge his loss from over three years ago? Let us know what you think in the comments down below.
