Brandon Moreno Wife: Who is 'The Assasin Baby' married to?
Brandon Moreno has been married to Shirley Moreno for more than a decade. Both Moreno and Shirley hail from Mexico. Over the course of the career of 'The Assassin Baby,' Shirley has consistently accompanied him to his fights.
The couple has three children together – three daughters, to be precise. Their oldest daughter, Maddie, was born in 2014. Maddie is known to be an excellent gymnast. She’s been a competitive gymnast since 2019.
Meanwhile, Moreno and Shirley’s second daughter – Megan – was born in 2018. After bravely dealing with a few health issues early in her life, Megan eventually recovered and is often seen in her father's social media posts.
Furthermore, the couple’s third daughter – Morgan – was born in 2021. Akin to her older sisters Maddie and Megan, Morgan is part of several social media posts put forth by Brandon Moreno.
Apart from her public appearances and Moreno's social media posts, not much is known about Brandon Moreno’s wife. Shirley has seemingly chosen to keep additional details regarding her personal life private.
She’s managed to do so despite her constant presence alongside her husband Brandon, who has lately turned into a huge star for the UFC, particularly in their native Mexico.
Brandon Moreno set to kick off another run at the UFC flyweight title
Brandon Moreno was engaged in a fierce competitive rivalry with Deiveson Figueiredo for the UFC flyweight championship. It culminated in a tetralogy of fights that Moreno conclusively won with a 2-1-1 record.
'The Assasin Baby' looked primed to reign over the flyweight division after the rivalry ended. However, he lost the belt to Alexandre Pantoja in a closely contested fight at UFC 290.
Including the TUF Season 24 loss, Moreno is 0-3 against Pantoja. Fans and experts believe that the Mexican fighter might need to score a few impressive wins to get another crack at the title.
The 30-year-old was expected to fight No.2-ranked Amir Albazi at this weekend's UFC Mexico event in a potential title eliminator bout. However, Albazi was forced to pull out of the contest due to a neck injury. He was replaced by Brandon Royval, who is coming off a unanimous decision loss against Pantoja at UFC 296.
Moreno defeated Royval first in November 2020 to get his first shot at the UFC title. However, both men have significantly improved over the last few years and the rematch is one of the most intriguing flyweight pairings.
The fight will headline the UFC Mexico event. As of now, it's not clear if the result of this contest has any title implications.
