Mackenzie pop is a chair inside Jonas Arena joined by the flyweight champion of the world Brendan Moreno who quite frankly has deserved the chance to sit down so we’re going to interview him sitting down Brandon I’m sure a lot of emotions after this entire Saga what is the strongest emotion you’re feeling right now oh I passed for I pass for a lot of different things right now I feel a lot of Peace you know because during five weeks I I can’t lie to myself I feel a lot of pressure you know being you know against Davidson field this reality the the belt in the line being in Brazil well a lot of uh crazy emotions but at the end after that performance you know I feel a lot of Peace in my soul it’s fun it was in an empty Apex then you fought in Phoenix you didn’t have to deal with the booze so when you were walking out and you heard those booze what sort of things did you have to tell yourself to remind yourself that you are you are the champion the people need to understand I’m very tough I’m a kid I’m a kid I I’m always trying to smile whatever but this thing here is crazy and it’s tough as uh so I don’t know the people was booing me and whatever but I never feel nothing when you first said in the Octagon you’re famous one day I will be Champion did you think it would be this hard to beat Champion state champion did you ever think you’d have to fight the same person four times it’s crazy I mean it’s to be honest it’s my life all my life is a roller coaster you know I I have a really amazing moment and I had a really bad moment but at the end it’s about discipline it’s about focus and obviously a lot of high work a lot of sacrifices but but I did it how much does it mean to you to once again represent Mexico reclaiming the title for your country I I love to be an example for the Mexican for the Mexican people I love to I love to be an example for my Mexican culture you know the people need to understand when I say when I when I say before like like uh you like we can do it uh that means a lot it’s not just like we can do it undertale I mean that means you need to sacrifice a lot you need to put a lot of hard work you need to be focused you know you need to pass a lot of obstacles in your life but and if you do that definitely we can do it and I want to be an example of that for the people I think you are heading into this fight surviving some pretty insane submission attempts uh the pressure that you were bringing inside the Octagon was we’ve seen it from you before but this one was a new level what was the game plan though for this fight you know the game plan for for this fight was try to control my emotions I think the last one I was very emotional I was just trying to exchange punches with him and I stopped to use my brain you know I’m still thinking I’m not very smart but the people around me convince me like hey man you are very smart just you don’t you you can’t see it right now but man if you use your brain in the middle of the Octagon you can do whatever you want so the the main focus for this file was to control my brain control my emotions be very smart uh be very close to my very close to my game plan and that’s it and then that works I mean maybe in the videos wrong he got me with a kill hook and that affect my my knee a Little Bit Hurts right now actually he got me maybe an ikeja team but I never was close uh and that’s it I mean I feel very healthy now that this chapter of your career is behind you what does the reign of Brandon Moreno look like uh Hey I Just Wanna I just wanna be the guy who loved his job I want to show that to the world and I want the people remember me for that
