In the last fight, I dominated him, since the first few minutes of the first round I dominated him. Blow, fight, wrestling. So obviously I fight him again Open that, but I think he needs to fight someone again [else].. “

Moreno said another option for his next fight could be a former UFC bantamweight champion. 5th place bantam weight Cody Garbrandt..

“Cody Garbrandt wants to come to this division. It’s a big fight because I know he’s not the best part of his career, but he’s a good name.” Moreno said. “He’s a former champion. There’s a really good brand behind him. He’s an option.”

Michael Chandler: “I still think Conor McGregor is one of the top players in the division.”

“Now I’m thinking of going to the gym again and getting ready for October and November. I think November is better. So I don’t care about the guy by name. In that month I just want to fight. “
