Alexandre Pantoja reminds Figueiredo of his word! UFC Flyweight Champion Deiveson Figueiredo has called out Kai Kara-France after the latter’s victory against Askar Askarov at UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs Daukaus.
Figueiredo won back his title at UFC 270 after his trilogy fight with Brandon Moreno. The three back-to-back fights were all close calls and saw both fighters come out with a victory each after their first bout ended in a draw. Their fourth fight is already in the works according to MMA reporter Ariel Helwani but it looks like the champion isn’t eager to run it back yet again.
Figueiredo took notice of this call out, and he responded with a Tweet of his own. He wrote, “Congratulations you dirty kiwi Kai Kara France you just punched your ticket with the God of War. Brandon Moreno you just took the back seat. You are 0- 2 against Alexandre Pantoja if you could beat him I’ll give you the next title shot. Let’s make it happen Dana White.”
Moreno clapped back at this Tweet with an Instagram post, he called for an interim title match against France, he wrote, “To Deiveson Figueiredo her ovaries hurt and she doesn’t want to fight!! What do you think of an interim against Kai Kara France while the gremlin gets eggs again.”
“Too much noise tonight”– Alexandre Pantoja isn’t impressed by Kai Kara France’s performance
Kai waited for the opportunity for a long time, and he warned Figueiredo to not sleep on him. He wrote, “Be careful what you wish for! Dana White let’s get the contract!”
Alexandre Pantoja holds wins over both Moreno and France. He called for a title shot after his win against Brandon Royval, and he’s been waiting for his chance ever since. Pantoja was promised a title shot by Deiveson, and he asked him to honour his word. He wrote, “Too much noise tonight! I’m waiting for my phone to ring! If a man does not honor his word, as he honors his own life, he does not make himself worthy to possess it.”
