But now, fully fit and with his skills sharpened, the man known as “Primetime” is ready to step into the spotlight once again as he makes his long-awaited return at Fury FC 106, where he’ll take on 24-fight Brazilian veteran Julio Rodrigues in the co-main event.
Victory could catapult Moreno into a title fight, and a rematch with Kilmer, who captured the 170-pound title at Fury FC 100 back in January.

And a second victory over Kilmer could earn Moreno more than just the Fury FC welterweight title. It could also alert the UFC’s matchmakers, who are always on the lookout for rising stars for Dana White’s Contender Series.
But before he can turn his attention to the likes of Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard, Moreno has a job to do in New Orleans, as he looks to remind everyone just why his “Primetime” moniker is a well-deserved one.
