Whether Brandon Moreno will be able to get back on the winning track when he returns to the octagon next month, we’ll have to wait and see. But “The Assassin Baby” has certainly been able to count on some high-level support leading up to it. Moreno(14-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) meets Ray Borg (11-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) in an FS1-televised preliminary-card bout at UFC 223 on April 7 looking to bounce back from a unanimous-decision loss to Sergio Pettis (16-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) in August. The setback snapped not only a three-fight winning streak, but one built on wins over some respectable names in Louis Smolka, Ryan Benoit and Dustin Ortiz. As he talked to MMAjunkie Radio about his upcoming match, Moreno sat in a hot tub at the “amazing” UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas. Awaiting the arrival of his coaches from Tijuana, he’d been training at Xtreme Couture and getting insight from ex-title-challenger and perennial flyweight contender Joseph Benavidez, who’s remained a mentor for Moreno even after he was done with “The Ultimate Fighter 24” coaching duties
