Brandon Moreno’s Family Life: Meet the Mexican UFC Star’s Wife and Kids

Brandon Moreno found love at a young age and is now reaping the rewards of a healthy, wholesome family. The former two-time UFC flyweight champion is a family man and puts them first over everything, often even being a fighter. He loves being a dad to his 3 daughters, Maddie, Megan and Morgan.

They are his biggest supporters and continue to be his biggest source of motivation in the octagon as he attempts to work his way back to UFC gold in the flyweight division.

“The Assassin Baby” met his future wife, Shirley, in high school and the couple has been going strong ever since. They are literally high school sweethearts!

Maddie is their eldest daughter and Morgan is their youngest daughter who came into the world in 2021.

There is not much information about their personal life. Moreno didn’t even reveal when he got married to his wife because it was an intimate and personal ceremony.

Shirley too is someone who likes to keep her personal life private and the only updates UFC fans can get from her are through her Instagram page.

So good for them. Fans don’t need to know everything about you just because they feel entitled!

Moreno is also a man of culture and is deeply knowledgeable and proud of his Mexican heritage.

Even when he beat Amir Albazi at UFC Edmonton, “The Assassin Baby” wore custom shorts reflecting his connection to his ancestors and roots.

Moreno explains his signature shorts

Moreno not only beat Albazi at UFC Edmonton, he dominated him. It looked like an unequal fight, even though it wasn’t. But the Mexican fighter fought as if possessed by the spirit of the gods; he certainly moved like one, his aim was right and he never stopped coming towards Albazi.

So maybe these custom shorts really worked. After all, they belonged to the Aztec god of light. Moreno previously explained the illustrations of these short films and revealed what they meant.

“For those who don’t know, Quetzalcoatl is the Aztec god of light, wisdom, and fertility too. I have three daughters, we know what that means.

These shorts were so cool that we can assume that even his opponent Albazi envied his shorts, since he did not have the opportunity to make one for himself.

The UFC only allows a select group of people to choose their shorts and that mainly concerns the main event and co-main event, as well as other big fighters.

I don’t want to end this on a sour note, but as with everything in the UFC, it seems a little “non-standard”!
