Brandon Moreno discusses his mentality in the previous fights

In an interview with the UFC, Brandon Moreno revealed that he was mentally tired in the third bout against Figueiredo. ‘The Assasin Baby’ went on to lose the very same match against his rival.

During the interview, Moreno said, “This is the fourth one against Figi [Deiveson Figueiredo]. Maybe in the third one, I was a little bit tired mentally. Not physically but mentally I was just like, the same game plan. I was like trying to fix some things but I had the same phase, I had the same game plan. So, yeah, I was a little bit tired. Definitely, the fight against Kai Kara-France helps in the ‘mentally’ part because you know, the new phase and new game plan. You know that helps a lot.”
