Brandon Moreno is one of the most promising young stars in the UFC. He was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico, and has been involved with martial arts since his teenage years. Moreno began training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at 16 years old under Master Paulo Guillobel in Tijuana, Mexico. After a few short months of training he won his first amateur MMA fight by submission.
