"It's crazy, I feel like I just found a new motivation in life. I was this close to retiring when I fought Brandon Royval. But after time off with my family, with my loved ones, I found I really love this sport. I really love to throw punches with a fighter in the middle of the Octagon with thousands of people [watching]."
"He's been doing an amazing job since he arrived at the UFC. Obviously, he had a little problem with Royval, but he came back and looked amazing in his last performance. I just remember his performances and saying, 'Oh, this guy looks super tough, super clean with the hands, and amazing grappling.' And here we are, getting an opportunity for the title."
Brandon Moreno reports feeling amazing and well-prepared ahead of his UFC 323 title eliminator against Tatsuro Taira. Moreno credits recent wins over Amir Albazi and Steve Erceg with reigniting his passion and providing renewed motivation after nearly retiring following the Brandon Royval fight. Moreno acknowledges Tatsuro Taira's striking and grappling skills and recognizes the threat Taira presents. Moreno emphasizes the need for an outstanding performance to make a clear case for a title opportunity while accepting that he can only control his preparation and execution.
