Brandon Moreno, the former flyweight champion, has spoken out after a controversial loss at UFC 323, slamming the referee's decision to stop the fight. Moreno, who was aiming for a third consecutive win against Tatsuro Taira, expressed his opinion that the referee stopped the fight too early, despite Moreno not being knocked out and still defending himself. This sparked debate among the UFC broadcast team and fans alike, with many questioning the timing of the stoppage. Despite the loss, Moreno remains a popular figure among UFC fans and has time on his side to bounce back and re-enter title contention. The fight's outcome also impacts the flyweight title picture, with Alexandre Pantoja's injury opening the door for a potential title fight between Taira and Joshua Van. This has led to calls for a match-up between the two exciting prospects, with Daniel Cormier advocating for an immediate title fight. The controversy surrounding the fight's conclusion has certainly left a lasting impression, and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds in the coming weeks.
