Moreno has readjusted his mentality as he looks to snap a
two-fight losing skid.
The former Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight titleholder will meet Joseph Morales in the co-headliner of Noche UFC 4 on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Arizona. He recently opened up about changes he’s made in the lead-up to his upcoming bout.
Moreno is coming off back-to-back losses to Tatsuro Taira and Lone’er Kavanagh. “The Assassin Baby” claims working on his mindset has been the biggest change to his preparation this time around.
“It’s more about a perspective of my mentality,” Moreno said in a recent interview. “I think it’s a really common problem in this sport. Like, sometimes you are your worst enemy. I don’t want to put any excuses or whatever. I’ve been working on myself. I’ve been working on my mindset, my mentality.”
Moreno also acknowledged the stakes against Morales, who will be looking to take his spot.
“I am trying to defend my spot in the rankings and Joseph Morales is going to be super excited and super motivated to try to take my position as well,” Moreno added.
