Brandon Moreno has done it again! The former 2-time flyweight champion put on an instant classic in front of his home crowd in Mexico City at UFC on ESPN 64. After handing Steve Erceg a third defeat on the trot, ‘The Assassin Baby’ proceeded to make a request to Dana White and the UFC’s matchmaking team because guess what? Moreno wants a prominent place on the Noche UFC 320 card.

Brandon Moreno’s emphatic win over Steve Erceg, who just cannot seem to find his bearings inside the Octagon, has put him right back into the title conversation. As we all know, ‘The Assassin Baby’ is not just one of the best flyweights ever, but he’s also a combat sports icon in his native country of Mexico. In fact, the crowd at Arena CDMX showed a lot of energy during UFC Mexico City’s main event, leading Moreno to call out Dana White and Co., especially Hunter Campbell.

Well, Brandon Moreno has full confidence in himself as a top star in the UFC. He believes that he can sell the Noche UFC 320 pay-per-view to the fans, and h wants to be on that card, given that the event is going to celebrate his native country’s Independence Day.

“Hunter [Campbell], man, I mean, who really knows what I deserve? I don’t know what I deserve,” the former 2-time champion stated during the Octagon interview. “But, man, I really believe I can move the needle. Let’s go to the pay-per-view in Guadalajara. Let’s f—ing go, man. Let’s f—ing do it.”

With a couple of wins under his belt, Brandon Moreno could very well make his way into a title fight and win the flyweight belt for a third time. Now, let’s take a look at how the main event of UFC Mexico City panned out.
