UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno ’s sights are set on Alexandre Pantoja, but that doesn’t mean he’s unaware of his surroundings. Moreno returns July 8 as he looks to defend his title in the co-main event of UFC 290. It’s a big fight for obvious reasons but also because of the shot at redemption. Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) has lost twice to Pantoja (25-5 MMA, 9-3 UFC): Once in an exhibition bout, part of their run in “The Ultimate Fighter 24,” and the other at UFC Fight Night 129 in 2018. Moreno wants to make it clear that he’s fully focused on Pantoja, but at the same time remind everyone that his callout of Henry Cejudo was very real.
