The young Moreno is only 19 years-old, but his age is just a number and he is ready to prove to the world that he shouldn’t be taken lightly.
“I don’t take anything away from him. He is a fighter,” he said. “When we enter the cage I know we will give a good fight.”
Moreno, was born in Los Angeles, but raised in Washington state, and he predicts a tough fight.
“I don’t see his weaknesses,” he said. “I see mine. He is aggressive like and so am I.”
Moreno started competing at the young age of 14. At first, his parents weren’t supportive of his decision.
“I trained to get out of problems. It was hard at first,” he said. “My father didn’t want me to fight. But finally he accepted and was present at my fights. I sometimes had to lie to him.”
