Brandon Moreno opens up about departure from UFC, future in MMA

Brandon Moreno’s days as a UFC fighter are over, at least for the time being.

The former UFC flyweight contender was cut from the promotion late last year following a loss to Alexandre Pantoja in May 2018 at UFC Chile. At the time of his departure, Moreno was still ranked in the top 10 of the division. Moreno’s release went largely unnoticed, as there was confusion between him and the UFC regarding whether or not he was still with the company. The lack of clarity on the situation left fans wondering about Moreno’s whereabouts and status as a UFC fighter.
