Brandon Moreno reflects on the break
In a recent interview with MMA Junkie Spanish, Brandon Moreno explained how the time taken off fighting helped him evolve as a person.
“At some point the obligations, responsibilities and all the stresses makes you not enjoy as much what you initially loved,” Moreno said, as quoted by mmajunkie.usatoday.com. “I feel that way again and that makes me very happy because every time that I felt that way, I’ve always performed well.
Right now, I find myself in a really good moment, the time I was away from MMA really helped me to clear my head and be with my family without thinking about fighting. Even though I was only doing one or two fights a year, I would fight, and immediately I would already be asked when my next fight would be and against who.
When you have an opponent and date set, you could still be two, four months away, but you have that fighting chip inside you, and you’re not 100 percent relaxed. I took this time to breathe and just spend time with my daughter and wife and just enjoy life”.
