After Deiveson Figueiredo’s war with Brandon Moreno ended up in a majority draw, these two athletes are supposed to fight each other for the title in a rematch later this year. But the champ Figueiredo already has his eyes set on the target. He issued a statement for the former champ Henry Cejudo in a recent interview he said

“Cejudo is a joker. “He talks too much, he is a loud mouth. I really want to beat up that guy and knock him out. I can’t wait. I’ll shut up Moreno and move on to Cejudo. They talk too much. They know my potential; they know how bad I am. I’m even worse when provoked like that.”

“He’s going to pay for what he’s been saying. He thinks he’s a wrestler, but I’m a marajoara fighter. I’ve beaten lots of wrestling guys. I’ll knock that guy out. Or I’ll take him down and submit him.

I’ll show that his wrestling is no match for my jiu-jitsu and marajoara fighting. I’ll defend my division’s title and then I’ll call out Cejudo to my division. He better be sure I’ll knock him out. Then I’ll accept a rematch anywhere.”

Figueiredo seems to hate Cejudo even more than Moreno, he is confident that he can beat “The Messenger” and he can beat him in any aspect of MMA, Cejudo is a Olympic gold medalist but Figueiredo says that he is still no match for him and he can dominate him even in the wrestling.

 “This Moreno fight, in my opinion, it requires patience,” says Figueiredo

Figueiredo is planning the rematch in the middle of this year, he believes this fight requires some patience and he needs some time to work on his skills and fix the problems in his game. In an interview with Ag Fight he said.

“This Moreno fight, in my opinion, it requires patience. I want the time to fix some problems in my game. I see it happening in May or June. I’m not in a hurry and the rematch will happen. I want to be ready to knock him out. I’ll be 100% the next time.

He showed great resilience, but I was hindered (Figueiredo had an intestinal infection prior to the fight). I was at 50% in that fight. When I’m 100%, I’ll be ready to knock him out or submit him. You can be sure of that.”
