The noted UFC former flyweight champion, Brandon ‘The Assassin Baby’ Moreno, didn’t have a pretty warm feeling after losing his title to Alexandre Pantoja at the UFC 290. ‘The Assassin Baby’ did his best to defeat Deiveson Figueiredo in front of the Brazilian crowd at UFC 283 but seems like his days as a champion were numbered. Moreno is now setting up the stage to fight against Brandon Royval at UFC Mexico City.

While most UFC fans might already know about Moreno’s next fight and his other UFC affairs. Very few of them can make similar claims about his life out of the promotion. Although Moreno puts out snaps of his family occasionally on his social media handles, most fans are quite ignorant of them apart from their knowing their faces. Today we shall discuss Moreno’s relationship. So without any further ado let’s get started.
