Saying Moreno is scared when he just finished the most dangerous guy in the division for the second time and in his home country is crazy lmao
He wasn't wrong lool I said he would do it again moreno flaws in kai kara france showed before liver shot, was getting pieced up and bullied down on cards for sure if kai did that for 5 rds he still would have got robbed loool Pantoja beat moreno 4-1 and they called it a split when moreno only won the second rd and nothing else kmt he got mauled, dropped on the feet, ragdolled on floor, backpack fighting to save his neck pantoja controlled 90% of the fight and dominated him. First time going 5 rds and he does that he will be more dangerous as champion mark my words, moreno better leave this man alone they have never had a close fight
Hopefully Moreno wins, dude seems more unbearable than Fig.
na ya just Moreno fans and he can do no wrong lol imagine someone you beat 2 times EASY win lol
Nah Figgy more unbearable in my opinion, just impossible to like. This guy's just an emotional wreck, I hope Moreno finishes him.
😅😂😂
these guys see a brazilian with difficulties to communicate and they act as if he were some kind of villain yall are hypocrite asf
@@trinitythabontshangase4398 how Moreno got beat up not even close in two fights Lmao how he Moreno number pantoja got his
It would be a massive mistake for him to assume he is fighting the same child. The Moreno he beat died in the 5th round of his first fight with Figi.
its funny because pantoja got the sh!t beat out of him by deiveson figgy

@@marcelotapia3970damn bro you doing ok this morning
@@marcelotapia3970That clown just went 3-0 went Moreno bud.
@@marcelotapia3970what now?
Moreno has gotten way better since tuf. It's like night and day how much he's improved. The first fight Moreno was just throwing like crazy. He's a much smarter and tactical fighter who's tough as nails. He'll win.
Yeah but the 2nd fight Moreno was already miles better and got dominated
pantoja is obviously the better fighter he just doesn't have the UFC machine behind him like moreno
@@NoName-th2hy the issue with Pantoja is he rushes and charges. Can't do that with improved Moreno.
@@NoName-th2hyyeah like 4 years ago
Moreno would look silly against Mighty Mouse and Cejudo if they were still here, but ok the entire division would so it has nothing to do with him. He is not better than Figgy, but Figgy just had tough fights with weight cut before the real fight and also got robbed in the first fight.
What’s with these homies thinking Moreno is scared 😂 goofy
He beat Moreno twice

Homies and goofy 😂

Hahahahahaysy Coke Shirt!!!!!
@@z2918 i'm just talking about hes 2× win anything else dont matter moreno are hes son
0:17 He said “I won’t say I’m not impressed. Moreno is good”.
He said I wouldn’t not won’t..:
Pantoja is great, but Brandon is gonna get his revenge also on this cheap shirt stiff😂😂
What was that sorry? I didn't hear you
@@UnPetitPeuFitness Brandon won, refs are garbage, just like your ears.
Normally I’m hesitant of a fighter beating someone they’re 2-0 against but Moreno will be the one to prove me wrong
And new
Moreno has improved so much since there first two fights I have no doubt he will be able to man handle Pantoja
pantoja is a monster!!
3-0 Pantoja unfortunately
I think Moreno can win too, but no way he man handles Pantoja. If he tries to, he'll probably get his neck wrapped up like he did last night or in their first fight on TUF. But I'm sure Pantoja knows he can't just walk him down the way he walked down Perez. I think Moreno will be able to keep it standing and win.
Pantoja is just a bad matchup for Moreno, same way Moreno was a bad matchup for Figueiredo etc
@@NoName-th2hy Moreno is not a bad matchup for Figgy, but Figgy just had to fight tough weight cuts before the fight and he also had the referee, judges and the UFC against him in the first fight and that's what started this entire story.
Don’t sleep on Pantoja, it will be an incredible fight
You were right
Let's go king
Chill out pantoja moreno will abuse you Edit: yeah that was foolish i was drunk when i commented this lol
He already beat Moreno in 2018.
@@heavensgate7337 stop you know good and we’ll that is not the same Moreno at all
@@heavensgate7337 and can you tell me where they both are now?
Beat Moreno. Deserves some respect on his name. I still think this version of Moreno would beat him tho.
@@Ph6enix yall sound like clowns lol, he still holds a win over the dude and you guys act like its unfathomable or theyre in entirely different dimensions of skill
“I gonna take your head” 😂. That’s what figgy said constantly. These coconut 🥥 land fighters are not too bright.
And murdering cartel land fighters are better lool
Moreno beat a guy Figi could not. Do it bruh.
This guy beat moreno 2×
@@micahjohnson138 So what? Moreno was not at the level he is today. All this new gen of Brazilian fighters are too cocky and the worst thing is they are convinced everybody love this kind of behavior, poor guys…
Coconut land fighters 😂😂😂😭😭
And nobody is impress by him. Even Megan was laughing hahaha
casual
I was impressed he beat Moreno easy twice lmao lol another izzy story lmaoooooo only can beat David after that pantoja will eat him
@@fabolousjada5070 long years ago, not impressed
He's been finishing people left and right. You clearly don't watch fights if you're not impressed.
@@listenup7284 Brandon is the champion and he say is not impressed, that mean he haven't watch fights? Being impressed or not doesn't have to do anything with if I have been watching fight or not, so I don't know how you rrach to that conclusion
This guy is gonna loose bc he's already so emotional. Moreno is a different fighter since their last 2 fights. A complete fighter. A patient fighter. This guy needs to rethink his approach.
Ganhou 3x do moreno
wow you're a smart! Thats exactly It! Moreno is x3 better now
@@gleisonborges3647 keep crying baby who won? Who is the champion Mexico Mexico
@@BigMario_ haha haha Bet you feel stupid
@@BigMario_ Brazil is the champion
He is just salty Sure he beat Moreno twice, and he is a great fighter But the Moreno we have now is LEVELS above the one he beat
Listen to what u said. Why wouldn’t u be salty when a guy u beat twice & he’s champ?😭🤣🤣
@@Skipjj Tbf he should've got a title shot at one point But Moreno quite frankly made Figgy look easy, AGAIN
@@Bence9122 easy sorry but that was a good fight if that dont hit the eye its a 5 rounder and with David power who knows but yall tripping pantoja whooped him and Moreno still throws a little crazy pantoja is very technical
@@Skipjj So he's sour because Moreno did what he couldn't do and beat Figgy twice?
And he was LEVELS above Moreno back then. Who is to say pantoja has not improved. Pantoja is an awkward match for Moreno. Weird striking with insane power that was able to constantly land on Moreno while having far better grappling. On paper it is always a difficult match for Brandon
I need to see this fight for the title. First one was crazy close but just think about the improvements moreno won. I need to see this next
Assassin baby!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽 all the wayyyy
Not impressed but figgy bashed him easily
Prime Figgy you moron 🤡 Back when nobody could even stun him now at 35 he gets wobbled by jabs and barely throws strikes
He beat Moreno twice , for those casuals .
And?
Are you sure I don’t think he mentioned it
He won't last 1 rd. Assassin Baby has improved a lot. I was there watching him fighting Petis. He was afraid to fight on feet back then. He is a totally different beast now.
Go sit down somewhere
Ok casual remember this comment
This is the fight game if your afraid you shouldn’t have signed up-Nate
Whats up with these Brazilians calling Moreno afraid? Alex is good but Brandon looks like a man on a mission.
cause he used to be afraid tbh so being he beat him twice he dont feel Moreno special neither does cejudo who is American / Mexican it just happened to be a Brazilian who beat him handily twice
Which mission?
I'm a big Moreno fan, but don't sleep on Pantoja yall. He's a beast. All he's trying to do here is sell the fight.
He is, he keeps talking about the 2 wins he has over Brandon which makes me feel like he’s overlooking him. It will end up being his downfall
@@_keno5100 foh lol you a fan Moreno swings crazy only David falls for it thats how he lost to his fellow Brazilian 5 fights ago or so ...pantoja got his number
@Fabolous Jada pantoja ain't for ish. He going to get slept. Looking like a wannabe Paulo Costa shirt
@@WoahWoahWoahHeavyMetal that doesn’t even make any sense. 🤦♂️
3-0
classes just like figi . Pathetic to see Brazil act like this . Colby was not completely wrong . he beat moreno 6 years ago . its like when Connor killed poorer at the start and years later got killed by porter . Same attitude like figgy hopefully he get to chew on his words.
who?
That's a nice shirt. Where to buy one?
Well let's see it!! When is it??
Who da fook?
He beat him twice casual
your a super causal lmfao pantoja arguably haven't lost in years the Dubai fight most people thought he won
STFU....Moreno looked really good
GSP called...
I mean ya of course he’s going to say that, he’s #2 he wants that shot
And already has 2 wins over Moreno

He saying Moreno is afraid.. xD
Moreno gonna beat Pantoja up worse than Figgy did 🤣
That was prime Figueiredo, that same Figueiredo beat up Moreno for 4 rounds.
Pantoja already beat the brakes off moreno dude lol beat him twice actually , you can say moreno is not the same moreno as back then but pantoja isnt the same either, the way he RAN through alex perez in a beautiful performance in under 2 minutes... we have never seen brandon moreno run through someone like that, good fight lets hope brandon moreno can pull it off, but no easy fight in ANY WAY for moreno remember hes 0-2 to pantoja
@@stacks3892 who the champion now?
@@BigMario_ Mario, you again? The champ is Pantoja. Why do you keep asking the same questions. 😄
I think people forget that pantoja beat moreno 30_26 and finished him before
Don't live in the passed
The fight was closer than that tbh. And it was a silly mistake just like glover and jiri. In my opinion moreno improved drastically
@@i_Drip pantoja had a 10_8 in 2nd fight and if you think moreno is the only one who improved watch pantoja vs perez and pantoja vs royval
@@silviamendez7298 Like you all did in the lead up to this fight? All any Mexicans talked about was Morenos 1 win over Figueiredo for the last 2 years.
@@NoName-th2hy the deivison no one could beat now its all behind 2 wins 2 finishes 🇲🇽
He’s relying on the past. That will be his downfall. Brandon has never looked as good as he did tonight. He’s leveled up greatly
past have you seen his last 3 fights after David beat him ? beastly
You were sayin? 3-0 and new
I smell another trilogy.
Who's this guy
A guy who beat Moreno in 2018.
Beat Moreno. Deserves some respect on his name. I still think this version of Moreno would beat him tho.
@UCvvS50oBRdP26K7BugzfyfA Yeah, you right. My mistake.
He beat him twice
People saying Moreno got better have no idea on just how good Pantoja is right now, this guy is a much greater beast than Figgy.
Keep crying crybaby who won
Pantoja lost to figi 😭

That shirts sick
What this guy is crazy Moreno is not the guy same mate his improved so much
Moreno's dad is so inspirational🙏
@tolazy2try 😉 not writing all them numbers and I haven't heard about Morenos father and why he's so inspirational is there clips or footage of his dad or Moreno talking about him?.
@@robertgerrard pantoja is Moreno's dad
@@Aditya-og3yr So does that mean Figueiredo is Pantoga’s dad?
Yeah moreno is the dad bcz he got the belt 2x
What happened to figgy? Who said the say thing in the weight ins lmao running away like a girl saying it was a eye poke crybaby
Davison used to be that undefeated beast whom u just can't beat...but Moreno was his kryptonite he not only beat him twice but made him quit 125 lbs division...nd pantoja thinks he can take him like this...way to go man
Moreno beat Figgy twice only because of Figgy's bad weight cuts. When Figgy has no bad weight cuts, Moreno needs referee and judges to save him. Pantoja has the right to think so because the guy has been waiting for his chance for a long time, beat half of current top 10 in that division including Moreno twice.
@@e.a.poecrnimacak354 Nobody forced Figgy to go to 125 and cut so bad.
He took him. 3-0
Megan is just like yup uh huh 😂
Moreno will beat this guy up
At least after the fight we won’t have to hear him crying for a title shot anymore.
Pantoja beat him twice for the casuals who don’t know & from his last past performance I think he may beat him a 3rd time
hes in tip top form
That's your opinion you casuals and pantoja got destroyed by figgy and who beat figgy ? Who is the champion now?
@@BigMario_ brazil is the champion
@@BigMario_ you look really stupid.
Megan is almost taller than him
heels
she got heels buddy lol
Kai Kara France vs panties for title shot
I doubt pantoja could even keep up with figgy lol let alone the now champion Brandon. There’s levels to this.
This guy got walked down by deiveson with one hand😂
Didnt figuereiro beat you? You fought moreno when he was fresh. He is a diferent beast now.
Jajajaja hopefully they fight in Mexico so you can really feel the crowd tension!!
I see they fought once on May 19, 2018 but whats funny is Alexandre Pantoja lost to Deiveson Figueiredo on July 27, 2019. They should fight again I don't think we should compare 2018 Moreno to 2023, that's a difference of 5 years.
Bro thinks he is GSP 💀
Pantoja can kiss the tip 😅
He’s not ur mom
He make moreno kiss hes tip 2× already
actually Brandon kissed it in the last two fights 🤣🤣 he lovesss pantojas TIP ..... 2 LOSSES buddy lol get MAD MAD lmao
And the world wasn’t impressed with you guys throwing beer and food at a humble deserving champion.
Nicolau will be the next champ
agree
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's not lying tho...Not the most impressive performance Moreno is the paper champ just holding it for Pantoja
Shut up lmao
When’s the last time he fought
I don't think 🤔 this guy realise how good Moreno is now and yeah he beat Moreno 2 time as keeps saying but I see it going a different way when and if they fight.I haven't seen the fights they had,,,,,yet so I'll maybe watch them if I can find them on KZhead. It's a small division literally so they are going to fight.
I'm gonna take your hat
Bro dressed like a Flintstone
Pantoja got whooped by figgy. And Brandon just finished him twice, last time Brandon fought pantoja he was a kid. Now Brandon is coming into his prime.
Moreno coming back to the house UFC is different when he came into it 2 different fighters
Moreno will be 0-3 against him soon. Poor guy had to wait for the quadrilogy. He's hungry & looked amazing in his last fight
U don’t understand Moreno on his prime come on viva Mexico 🇲🇽!!
🤡
Don't be stupid homie
Dude got owned by figgy. Can't wait for moreno to shut this Brazilian nut up
@@olivrrrr hey, thanks for telling me that you are the clown
He really thinks Moreno hasn't improved anything from their fights, that were YEARS ago. What a MOOCH!!!
Not impressed by the guy that beat you once already? I know Pantoja has improved, but dude is acting like Brandon hasn't.
What is he trynna say?
Brandon is not the same fighter when these 2 first fought, Brandon has got way better and would easily beat Pantoja
People do not understand that "He is scared" is not literaly.. Pantoja wants the figth and is doing all he can for that happens. Besides that, Pantoja already said that Moreno is not the same guy he beated, but Pantoja neither.. he is a very determined guy, and has fire in his eyes.. Until the match, Pantoja is 2 x 0. Fact.
Pantoja is Moreno’s Pereira. But he has a chance to flip the script soon.
Lol, good luck getting schooled by Brandon
We own your town now perro! 🇲🇽
The next to lose. The Moreno you faced is not the same Moreno of today.
Who the fook is this guy ? ( I don't watch flyweight fights until its not for the belt. )

Pantoja gonna be the new champ if moreno looks like that again
What a hater 😂 He is obviously jealous of the love Moreno gets and how he has become the peoples champ!
As long as Moreno don’t fight like MvsF 3 he will get the W vs Pantoja.
Backstage to his face you were telling him his performance was great. Your gonna get sparked out. I don’t wanna hear about fights 5 years ago. Jordan once got cut from his high school basketball team. The fact you think he’s scared of you tells me everything I need to know about you
This ain’t in the tuf anymore, he’s levels above you now .. put some respect on morenos names . THE CHAMPION HAS A NAME AND ITS BRANDON MORENO .VIVA MEXICO CABRONES !
Y’all sleeping on pontoja causals
That’s a player heater right there 😃
I think Moreno smokes this guy. Moreno makes it even.
Pantoja is gonna win
This dude needs to settle down. He hasn’t fought Moreno in years. He’s talking to Moreno after bothering him…grow up
Did he borrow his shirt from Paulo Coata?
-" Im not impressed" The non impressive fighter.
yeah right lol his last fight was amazing lol stop hating cause dudes confident and who wouldn't after the way he beat Moreno and cejudo said anyone who uses leg kicks will beat Moreno is true David just hard headed
he beat Moreno twice fool
Did he impress you?
