The “Assassin Baby” Brandon Moreno returns to face the young and hungry Tatsuro Taira in Las Vegas at UFC 323. This was the logical fight to make. Taira has proven himself to be a formidable force in the flyweight division, and Moreno is a former champion and still at the top of his game.

Moreno’s last fight took place in March of this year, where he dominated Steve Erceg for a unanimous decision win. Although Moreno lost the belt to Alexandre Pantoja in 2023, he has never been out of contention to get his belt back. Since then, he has only fought the best of the best and continues to dominate his opponents. He is 2-1 in his last three fights, with the loss against Brandon Royval being controversial, and many fans believe he won. Moreno continues to show that he is one of the best flyweights in the world and the guy to beat if you want to succeed at the top.

Tatsuro Taira has made quite a name for himself in a short time. The 25-year-old is 7-1 in the UFC, with his only loss coming by split decision to Brandon Moreno. Taira is coming off a quick night in the office after his submission win against Hyun Sung-Park this past August. He is one of the most skilled young fighters in the UFC and has already burst into the top 5 rankings. Moreno will be his toughest test yet, but if he wins, it will prove he is a championship-caliber fighter. The winner of this fight will likely be in a position to fight for the belt soon and could shake up the flyweight rankings when all things are said and done.
