Notably, Moreno became the first Mexican-born fighter to win a UFC gold. Moreno’s UFC 283 win was commemorated with a mural of his in the city of Tijuana.

He said, “I love to be just with my family, and at the same time, I am trying to be very educated, respectful, and nice with the people who are trying to ask for a picture or whatever.”

He claims that everything that happens is always for the better. Additionally, the flyweight champion also claims to have seen a lot of changes outside of his close circle. Nevertheless, there haven’t been any changes in his relationship with the people close to him. “A lot of changes around me outside of my circle, but I am always in. I am always with my people,” said ‘The Assassin Baby’.
