Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo
Brandon Moreno may have moved on from his possible rematch against Deivison Figuerideo but that doesn’t mean he is just yet ready to close the door on the iconic trilogy they had. As the Mexican gets ready to face City Kickboxing prodigy, Kai Kara France he talks about how much his next fight means to him and why a rematch with Deivison means more to his legacy than his pockets.
Moreno and Figueredo have shared the octagon for more than an hour. In the 3 championship fights, two have gone the distance while one saw Moreno brutally beaten up and finish the champion.
It is the second bout that adds so much steam to Moreno’s claim to an undisputed title rematch as he was the only one to get a finish in their trilogy. As their first bout was a draw the score stands at 1-1 and hence a rubber match makes the most sense.
Brandon Moreno would love to defend the interim flyweight title against the winner of Pantoja vs Perez
With UFC 277 right around the corner, Moreno is focused on the task at hand, he claimed after defeating Kai, he would love to defend his interim belt. Talking to the reporters at UFC 277 media day, he said, “I don’t want to wait. Last year I fought in January one time. This year I fight in January and then no fight. I just wanted to fight. I talked with Jason, my manager, and I talked with UFC like, ‘Hey, give me a fight for the title. If no, OK.’ I want to fight. I want to be active.”
When asked to comment on Figueiredo, he said, “I don’t care about Deiveson. I don’t care about that guy. My personal plan is to be healthy for this fight. If nothing really bad happens and I’m not injured, my plan is to fight in December before the end of the year. If Deiveson is not ready, I can fight against the winner of this Saturday, Pantoja vs. Perez, easily.”
