Brandon Moreno might be more interested in defending his belt against somebody new, but Deiveson Figueiredo has other ideas. The former flyweight champion wants to see the trilogy between himself and Moreno sealed, and the sooner the better.
Speaking with MMAFighting.com, Figueiredo did not hold back in his criticism of Moreno’s performance in and out of the Octagon. “He’s a p*ssy!
Deiveson Figueiredo urges “p*ssy” Moreno to accept trilogy fight
Brandon Moreno is a p*ssy because I was sick when I fought and beat him, and I gave him the rematch right away. I won that fight.
They took a point away from me, he pretended to be hurt, he faked an eye poke so they would take points from me, but I still won. And now he doesn’t want to give me a rematch? He’s a p*ssy.”
Many would argue that Moreno’s decisive submission victory over Figueiredo in their second match was enough to dispel any questions about the first. Clearly, Deiveson is not one of them.
Moreno has since proposed fighting Cody Garbrandt, which Deiveson was, predictably, unimpressed with. “I expected more from him, I expected him to act like a man. What I want the most is this trilogy with him, to fight him again. I hope he’s man enough to give me that rematch.”
Figueiredo claims that he’s happy to take the rematch anytime, anywhere. He’ll even fight Moreno in his native Mexico, where the flyweight champion is a national hero. “I’d fight him wherever.
United States, Mexico, I just want this trilogy. He can rest assured that I won’t be the same Figueiredo of last time. I’ll come back focused and I’ll knock out this p*ssy inside his house.”
Figueiredo finished by saying he’s earned the trilogy fight. He deserves to fight Moreno again and have another shot at the flyweight belt. In his last fight against Moreno, he claims that a bad camp and mental distraction prevented him from competing to the best of his ability, but that won’t be a problem should the two meet again.
“I deserve this trilogy because of all the great fights I’ve done. I go in there to put on a show in all of my fights. I haven’t fought well this time, unfortunately. It wasn’t Deiveson Figueiredo fighting there. I want the opportunity now. I’ll show my true self in there, a knockout artist. I won’t be so passive in there. We’ll brawl from start to finish.”
