Mini bio

How it started.

Moreno grew up in Tijuana and started training at 12. Before fighting became his career, he made piñatas. He turned professional in 2011 and built his career on the regional circuit.

The long way back.

He entered The Ultimate Fighter: Tournament of Champions as the lowest seed in 2016. Although he lost to Alexandre Pantoja on the show, he submitted Louis Smolka in his UFC debut. After being released from the UFC, he won the LFA flyweight title in 2019 and earned his way back.

A place in history.

At UFC 263 in June 2021, Moreno submitted Deiveson Figueiredo to become the first Mexico-born UFC champion. Their rivalry stretched across four fights. After losing the belt, he won the interim title against Kai Kara-France in 2022 and unified it against Figueiredo in Brazil in 2023.

Beyond fight night.

His UFC profile describes a life with his wife and three daughters, a love of Pokémon and other trading cards, and gaming streams. UFC has also documented his enthusiasm for LEGO and Funko Pops.
