Deiveson Figueiredo is ready to use all the advice he can get ahead of his trilogy fight against Brandon Moreno at UFC 269.

Former flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo has managed to book a title rematch against current champion Brandon Moreno at UFC 269. The Brazilian lost his belt to the Mexican at UFC 263 via submission in the third round. Deiveson is looking to exact his revenge against Moreno in the upcoming trilogy fight. The Brazilain reveals that former two-division champion Henry Cejudo has been helping him out with his training leading up to the big fight.

In an episode of the podcast, Trocacao Franca, Deiveson reveals what how this training came about. “I’m talking to Henry Cejudo and Eric Albarracin to go there and do my camp focused on this guy, on getting back my belt that I borrowed him,” said Figueiredo. [translated by MMA Fighting]

The Brazilian wants to change up his lifestyle with the level of fighting he is at. At some point, Figueiredo might leave his hometown and live overseas. “I want to live an athlete’s life, that’s why I’ll leave Brazil and live overseas so I can get that belt back and keep it for a long time. If the team is good no doubt that I’m going there for good,” said the former champ.

“I’ve contacted Cejudo when I lost to Brandon Moreno and he told me to control my weight better, otherwise I would lose again every time I fought Brandon. I disagree, man, I just wasn’t feeling well. But it is fixed now,” said the Brazilian.
