Brandon Moreno Looks To Dustin Poirier’s Journey As Motivation Before UFC Mexico City
In the UFC, fighters often struggle to reclaim their spot at the top after a tough loss. Finding motivation becomes crucial to rebuilding their game and making a comeback. After losing his title to Brandon Royval, Brandon Moreno now looks to Dustin Poirier for inspiration. Poirier’s journey from humble beginnings to UFC success resonates with Moreno as he prepares for his fight against Steve Erceg. With a fresh mindset, Moreno is determined to rise again and reclaim his place.
Moreno told Daniel Cormier that after his loss to Brandon Royval in Mexico, he has been focusing on staying calm and spending time with his family. He reminded himself that, no matter what happens next, he has already won in life. Looking at fighters like Dustin Poirier, who came from humble beginnings and achieved success, Moreno embraces the same mindset. Right now, he’s simply enjoying the journey.
In his words, “I’m just trying to be focused after my last fight here in Mexico when I lost against Royval… I look at fighters like Dustin Poirier and other fighters like man, I’m from the hood, I don’t have nothing. Now I’m living my dream, you know? I try to get the same mentality [as Poirier] and man, right now I’m just enjoying it.”
UFC Commentator Feels Brandon Moreno Is Under Pressure
Paul Felder believes Moreno is under huge pressure as he prepares to fight Steve Erceg. As one of Mexico’s biggest MMA stars, Moreno carries the weight of an entire country’s expectations. Felder points out that fighting at home can be a blessing or a burden—some fighters thrive, while others struggle. He also notes that Moreno prefers training with his own team, but that comes with financial challenges.
For Moreno, this fight is more than just another match—it’s a major test. Now, all eyes are on Moreno to see if he can handle the pressure and turn this fight into a stepping stone back to the title.
