Moreno’s win over Jussier Formiga was close, and I wouldn’t argue with anyone who scored it for the Brazilian, but the bottom line is that with such a big victory, Mexico’s “Assassin Baby” is now a major player at 125 pounds. And in a wide-open division, being a major player means a title shot may be coming sooner rather than later. Remember, the title is still vacant, and while the UFC may run back the Deiveson Figueiredo-Joseph Benavidez fight for the crown, if that’s the case, Moreno may be next. So yeah, wins don’t come bigger than that.
