Brandon Moreno discusses a possible boxing match between Kamaru Usman and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez

Brandon Moreno has discussed Kamaru Usman’s hopes of challenging multiweight boxing champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez within the square circle.

Usman has been incredibly dominant since capturing the UFC welterweight title. He is now even starting to overlap the division, having already fought Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington twice.

‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ also has individual victories over Leon Edwards, Gilbert Burns and Tyron Woodley.

Moreno and Alvarez know each other well and have even trained together in the past. That makes the UFC’s first Mexican-born champion the perfect view to take on a potential crossover fight for Usman.

Speaking to Michael Bisping for BT Sports, Moreno had this to say:

“I think those statements that Kamaru Usman made earlier talk about a champion trying to get a new challenge in his life. And I respect that. Because now he’s just getting rematches. Maybe he’s starting to feel a little tired.” The same man, the same man, the same man. So talk about boxing. That’s very specific. Canelo is a monster man.’

Brandon Moreno on his combat trilogy with Deiveson Figueiredo

At UFC 270 this weekend, Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo will complete their trilogy. The first fight ended in a majority draw, although it probably would have gone in the direction of Figueiredo had he not been penalized for a low blow.

In the repechage, however, Moreno delivered a masterclass, putting Figueiredo on his feet before subduing him in the third round. With the third clash only days away, Moreno had this to say to Bisping:

“For me it’s very easy. It was all about confidence. The first fight was difficult for both of us, for Figueiredo it was also difficult. But speaking of myself, my personal experience, I only had three weeks to do something specific for to prepare [the first] Figueiredo fight… In the second, after the first, I thought, ‘Man, I can take this man’s damage. I have enough chin. I can wrestle with him. I can wrestle with him.'”
