The former UFC flyweight champion seemingly doesn’t want to wait long before returning.
Moreno was confident that he’d be awarded a title shot if he beat Steve Erceg this year in order to win back-toback bouts within the Octagon.

After Moreno reflected on the loss shortly after the fight, it has been reported that he’s set to enter another training camp in the near future.
In a card signing photo, Joshua Van has predicted his UFC 323 victory almost to the minute.
