Early Life & Family
Brandon Moreno Carrillo was born on December 7, 1993, in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. A boxing fan growing up, he initially tried to pursue capoeira but struggled to find instruction locally, which eventually led him to an MMA gym where he trained in kickboxing and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. He holds a black belt in jiu-jitsu under Raul Arvizu.
Rise to Fame
Moreno made his professional MMA debut in April 2011 and built his profile through regional promotions before appearing on The Ultimate Fighter Season 25. His signature moment came on June 12, 2021, when he won the UFC Flyweight Championship, becoming the first Mexican fighter to win a UFC title.
Career History
Moreno won the WFF Flyweight Championship in 2014 and the Legacy Fighting Alliance Flyweight Championship in 2019 before making his UFC run. He fought a historic four-fight series against Deiveson Figueiredo between 2020 and 2022, winning the flyweight title twice and also holding the interim title at one point. He has continued competing in the UFC’s flyweight division through 2026 with mixed results.
How They Built Their Wealth
