Moreno Loves Everything About The Octagon

The happiest man in the world lives in Tijuana, Mexico. If the ever-present smile doesn't give it away, then just hearing Brandon Moreno talk about his Saturday bout against Sergio Pettis does the trick. This is a 23-year-old about to face someone trained to punch him in the face this weekend, but you wouldn't know it by his demeanor. He might as well be going out for a day at the beach with his family.

"It's a lot of feelings," he said of his first UFC main event. "I feel pressure, I feel nervous, but the thing I feel the most is happiness. My last fight in Mexico was in 2012 and now I'm coming back to Mexico with the UFC, in the main event with a really good fighter like Sergio Pettis. So I'm excited."

The best part about it is the sincerity of "The Assassin Baby." Stay in this game long enough and it's easy to pick out the fakers from the real folks. Moreno is real, both in the Octagon and outside of it, and it's on MMA's biggest stage that he's gone from unknown to contender in less than a year.
