Whether it’s the unpleasant crowd response or his fire to avenge his loss against Moreno, Deiveson Figueiredo was very fired up throughout the press conference. The “God of War” has said that he is coming into this fight with vicious intent and plans on knocking out the Mexican champ cold.

The last time these two flyweights met, Figueiredo was choked out in the third round. Despite losing the fight, the Brazilian took the loss like a true champ and celebrated his opponent’s historic win. But the mindset seems to have changed for Deiveson this time around. He also was spewing insults towards Moreno in the press conference to which the Mexican could only laugh it off.

“Brandon is a crybaby. He’s a crybaby motherf**ker. Yeah, motherf**ker. I am going to knock you out,” yelled Deiveson in the press conference. “Why you try so hard, man? Just stop. I know you’re a nice guy. Just stop,” said Moreno in response. Do you think Deiveson will let the emotions of the fight get the better of him?
