Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo, this will be the third time they’re fighting. I fought Brandon three years ago in 2019. It was a close fight. He’s done well since then and improved a lot, but so have I.”
“I feel like the other flyweights that were ahead of me in the rankings, they’re not here tonight. I’m here. It was my show tonight, so I feel like I leaped-frogged them, and I’m next in line for the title shot.”

He continued, “He thought he was going to take over the flyweight division, so I shut that off tonight, I might’ve retired him.

I’m lucky to have all my teammates and I cant wait to see what the future holds.”
