Brandon Moreno is ready for his title shot.
Already ranked No. 1 in the world at 125 pounds, “The Assassin Baby” was understandably upset that he was passed over for an opportunity to compete for flyweight gold at UFC 255 but he made the most of his time to shine in the featured prelim against Brandon Royval. After securing a takedown in the opening round, Moreno was attacking with submissions and eventually a brutal ground and pound attack that earned him the finish while Royval was left nursing an injured shoulder once the fight was stopped.
