When it comes to humility, Brandon Moreno is your go-to person in all the UFC. The 29-year-old has a high humility, which, in no sense, could be considered bad. This trait allows Moreno to stay focused on his end goal and ultimately achieve it with great pride. The flyweight champion is good at staying grounded, which is a noble trait to possess, especially in combat sports. Brandon Moreno destroyed his opponent, Deiveson Figueiredo, in the UFC 283 rematch and claimed the belt. Since the event took place in the Brazilian fighter’s homeland, the native audience was not too happy about their fighter’s loss.

After the end of the co-main event, the audience started pelting the Mexican title winner with whatever they had in their hands. When asked about the incident, Moreno had a good laugh about it. He mentioned how he found the incident to be pretty hilarious. However, his fans across the internet don’t seem too happy about the situation. Under a recent Reddit post, the fans started whip-lashing the audience at the stadium.
Fans have got Brandon Moreno’s back!
In the post, it was linked that in a recent interview with the renowned sports journalist, Ariel Helwani, ‘The Assassin Baby’, discussed his UFC 283 fight. During the interview, he also wondered about the incident he was caught in. The UFC world on Reddit is a bit aggressive about the problem that Moreno had to face.
We support Moreno’s view on the incident but the issue can’t be overlooked: “I’m glad he wasn’t bothered by it, and he’s a really good sport, but it’s just disgusting. That crowd was full of trashy people.”
‘The Assassin Baby’s priceless laughter during this pelting scene was probably the highlight, “he was actually laughing when security was escorting him backstage while they were throwing stuff at him lmao.”

This view is a bit drastic but suits the recent narrative, “All the UFC/MMA fans I’ve met irl have been really cool and chill people but for some reason, the ones that attend events/stadiums seem to have been raised in zoos.”.
We can consider this a practical view indeed, “if figgy beat Moreno the same way in Mexico, Mexican fans would do the exact same sh*t lmao they’ve done it before.”
Disrespecting the legendary Glover Teixeira is something else entirely, “what’s just as disgusting… fans walked out on Glover’s retirement speech.”

The view cannot be changed regardless of what Moreno thinks: “nice guy. It was disrespectful, though, hard for me to see it any other way.”
The utter love for the Mexican is shown in this sentence, “oh my god I can hear his voice saying this.”
What does Brandon Moreno think about the ‘disgusting’ incident?
“Maybe because they thought I poked Figueiredo’s eye,” said Moreno about why the crowd started attacking him. This could be completely possible. However, fans are known to disrespect another country’s team if their home team doesn’t win in any situation. In this case also, maybe because Figueiredo lost the title, the Brazilian fans were upset.

‘The Assassin Baby’ explains, “For me, as a Mexican, it’s kind of normal… I’m not saying it’s correct, but I live a little bit more with it like that. That’s why for me it was funny.”
What do you think about the incident? Do you support Moreno’s view on the same?
