'The Assassin Baby' has an incredible story with heart and determination that brings him to the top of the sport after he has fallen apart.
Brandon Moreno has produced some of the largest fighting in the history of the flight weight department, but there was a time when his term of office ended.
The former title holder recently demonstrated that he is here to stay while Moreno set up a clinic against Amir Albazi to bounce back into the win column.
He now seems to continue this momentum when he has the fighting night card this weekend in Mexico City Headt against former title -ending, Steve Erceg.
Although he became a fixture at the top of the 125 pound division, he became a victim of the flight weight department in 2018.

Brandon Moreno was cut from the UFC before he was the first champion born in Mexican
Brandon Moreno's access to the UFC was not a straight road because it was eliminated by Alexandre Pantoja in the first fight on the Ultimate Fighter 24 after being the lowest ranked seed.
Nevertheless, the Tijuana-Native arrived in the Octagon while the show was still broadcast and the land hit with three consecutive victories.
His momentum ended here with back-to-back losses for Sergio Pettis and Pantoja, which made him shockingly cut out of the grid at a time when the future of the flight weight was in the balance.
While the UFC finally decided to keep the 125-ponders in the area, Moreno left and won the LFA fly weight title during an incredibly difficult chapter of his life that tested his determination.
Former UFC hunter Brandon Moreno became the LFA Flyweight champion on Friday evening with a fourth round of TKO against Mikael Perez.

His dedication and perseverance led him back to the Octagon where he stood opposite Askar Askarov in Mexico City and fought to a split pulling that many believed he deserved to win.
While his return to the UFC did not bring the result that he had wanted, Moreno prove that he was one of the Vert Best in the division by merge three victories over top opponents in Kai Kara-France, Jussier Formiga and Brandon Royval, Moren deserved a massive chance.
He and the champion, Deiveson Figueiredo, did not get any damage in their UFC 256 victories and as a result both men agreed to meet each other during the PPV event of the following month, UFC 256 in December 2020.
An immediate classic title fight resulted in a majority of trekking, but many thought that the underdog had gone away as the winner in the eyes of the fans after he tarted the chances with an incredible representation of heart and toughness.
In the Rematch, Moreno did not leave a room for debate, because he might set the best performance of his career in the second round in the second round to go from a hunter who was cut from the schedule to a world champion in the room of the schedule.
