Brandon Moreno typically operates like the human version of a podcast played at 2x speed, speaking rapidly and jitterbugging around every room he’s in, but when you get the two-time former UFC flyweight champion talking about competing at home in Mexico City as he does this weekend, “The Assassin Baby” somehow manages to crank it up another notch.
