Despite the newfound fame that comes with being a UFC champion, UFC flyweight titleholder Brandon Moreno is still looking to improve his game; and recently worked with fellow countryman Canelo Alvarez on body striking.
Moreno earned the UFC’s flyweight belt earlier this year in a submission win over Deiveson Figueiredo, in a rematch of one of the greatest fights in UFC history. Alvarez is a multiple-division boxing champion with his latest win coming over Billy Joe Saunders. Alvarez and Moreno are arguably two of the biggest stars hailing from Mexico due to their wide variety of accomplishments in combat sports.
Moreno recently got to meet Alvarez and his team, having a friendly conversation which turned into Alvarez also giving the reigning flyweight king some tips when it comes to body strikes. In a video released on Moreno’s Instagram story, Alvarez unleashes some ferocious body shots to a large punching bag while also giving Moreno some tips as to how he is able to generate so much power from his lower half.
After the meetup, Moreno shared photos from the encounter and expressed how much he appreciated learning from one of the fight game’s very best.
“An honor to meet Canelo and his team today,” Moreno posted. “For me, it is a pleasure to meet people that I really admire inside and outside of sport, thanks for the advice.”
Alvarez and Moreno are both in a holding pattern as each Mexican star awaits their next opponent in their respective sports. A fight between Alvarez and Caleb Plant is reportedly in the works for September, while Moreno is expected to make his first UFC title defense sometime later this year.
One thing is for sure, it appears Moreno’s next fight won’t be a trilogy with Figueiredo. Moreno recently shared his thoughts on giving Figueiredo an immediate rematch and conveyed that the former champion needs to win a fight or two before getting another shot at his belt.
Who do you think Brandon Moreno should fight next for his first title defense?

Henry Cejudo wants a boxing match against Ryan Garcia, and he’s letting everyone know about it.
Cejudo surprised many when he retired following his UFC 249 victory over Dominick Cruz. Observers were skeptical it was truly the last time they would see ‘Triple C’ compete, and he has only given them reason to doubt with call-outs of a number of UFC fighters, as well as boxing star Ryan Garcia.
In a new video obtained by EsNews, Cejudo comes face-to-face with one of Garcia’s friends, the legendary Canelo Alvarez.
Cejudo and Alvarez manage to keep things relatively friendly. Though the conversation takes place in Spanish, the cameraman at one point tells Alvarez that Cejudo wants to fight Garcia, to which Canelo responds, “Why not?” Cejudo accuses Alvarez of being nice for the camera before both men go their separate ways. The former UFC flyweight and bantamweight champion turns to the camera and declares, “I’m ready. Someone’s gotta bend the knee to Triple C.”
The 22-year old Garcia is one of the hottest stars in all of boxing. He’s put together a sparkling 21-0 record and recently claimed the interim WBC lightweight title. A fight between he and Cejudo has been rumored as far back as last summer, though it appears no movement has been made on the match-up since then.
Cejudo has announced that his return to competition could be coming soon, though he didn’t say if that would be in the octagon or squared circle. If he does return to the UFC, he would most likely receive an immediate title shot in either the flyweight or bantamweight divisions, given that he ruled over both.
Garcia’s next fight has yet to be announced. Many are holding out hope that it would be against either the legendary Manny Pacquiao or fellow rising star Gervonta Davis.
Canelo Alvarez is coming of a third-round destruction against an over-matched mandatory challenger, Avni Yildirim. With the win, he defended both his WBC and WBZ super-middleweight titles. He will next face-off against Billy Joe Saunders in a highly anticipated bout on May 8.
