Brandon Moreno made history Saturday when he became the first Mexico-born champion in UFC history. At UFC 263 , Moreno (19-5-2 MMA, 8-2-2 UFC) submitted Deiveson Figueiredo (20-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) with a rear-naked choke in Round 3 to win gold. The victory came on the heels of an energetic fight week for Moreno, who received one of the loudest pops at the pre-fight news conference and ceremonial weigh-ins.
