Brandon Moreno may not be a UFC champion anymore, but he's still getting the star treatment.

This Saturday, Moreno takes on Amir Albazi in the main event of UFC Edmonton, and when he does so, he'll be wearing brand new custom fight shorts. Moreno's custom shorts are black and red with green lettering, and show images of Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent deity in Aztec culture. Check out images of the shorts below, along with Moreno's reaction.

"Let's go! Gentlemen, for those who don't know, Quetzalcoatl is the Aztec god of light, of wisdom, fertility too. [Laughs]. I have three daughters. We know what that means...

"This is so cool. I carry this in my heart. It's beautiful, to be honest."

A two-time flyweight champion, Moreno is currently riding a two-fight losing streak. Most recently he dropped a split decision to Brandon Royval at UFC Mexico City back in January.

Undefeated in his UFC tenure, Albazi is currently No. 6 in the MMA Fighting global flyweight rankings and was the original opponent for Moreno at UFC Mexico City until a neck injury forced him to withdraw from the bout. Albazi has not fought since winning a split decision over Kai Kara-France at UFC Vegas 74 in June of 2023.

UFC Edmonton takes place this Saturday at Rogers Arena, and also features a five-round co-main event matchup between Erin Blanchfield and Rose Namajunas.
