“I love my city, I love my country, but at some point I decided to make this decision,” said Moreno, who has fought his entire career with the Entram Gym team. “All the UFCs were in Vegas, all the sponsorships, better schools for my daughters, so I did this for my family. That was the main reason.”
As for fighting, Moreno left his wife and three daughters in Vegas to travel to Lee’s Summit, Missouri, to train at the Glory MMA and Fitness gym under the tutelage of James Krause.

“The decision was difficult at first because I’ve been training in Tijuana all my life,” Moreno said. “But after my last fight, I felt like I had to grow in this game. A lot of people wanted to put some drama in there, but it’s not drama – it’s just to continue in my career and develop my abilities. And I can feel it right now.
Krause and Moreno because a strong duo immediately, not just because of the renowned coach’s technical and motivational skills, but because they share a similar approach to the sport.
“I love passion, and that’s one of the reasons I love working with James,” Moreno said. “He’s crazy, he’s very passionate, he’s a mixed martial arts nerd, and he’s one hundred percent into it. I love his mentality, and that’s another reason why I decided to move here. This guy loves sports as much as I do.
