Brandon Moreno: Brandon Moreno’s staunch reply to flyweight divisions champion Deiveson Figueiredo’s threat to leave the Division
Brandon Moreno’s response to Deiveson Figueiredo’s upset of UFC 277: The Brazilian god of war has proved his dominance in UFC’s flyweight division. The knockout artist suffered an injury and is out for a while healing it.
Upcoming flyweight bout Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France being set for UFC 277 on July 30, has invited displeasure from the division champion.
Brandon Moreno staunchly elucidated on the stand of Deiveson Figueiredo’ and gave his response.
He said,“I don’t know what he’s thinking right now, [whether] it’s really for the money, or he’s kind of scared,” Moreno told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. “I don’t want to say he’s scared — it’s too much trash talk. I’m sick of trash talk with this guy. I’m done with that. But I don’t know. He doesn’t want to fight, and that’s it. I know I have an important matchup against Kara-France, but hopefully I can see him again before the end of the year. He’s saying a lot of different, crazy stuff like, ‘Oh, I want more money and if the UFC doesn’t give me more money, I’m going to go to bantamweight.’
“Like anybody cares, man. Nobody cares. It’s not like he’s moving to 135 and the UFC is going to go, ‘Oh, OK, you’re going to move to 135? I’m going to give you more money now.’
“That was the original plan,” Moreno said. “Everybody wanted that fight. UFC, I wanted that fight, obviously – everybody except Figueiredo. He wanted – I don’t know what he wants, to be honest. But he said no, and I felt a little bit frustrated, because I’m lying to you if I say I’m not here for money, because I love money, too. I love to buy stupid things, but imagine the legacy. Four fights against somebody, the first one in [UFC] history, that sounds amazing.
“Obviously, I’m crossing my fingers to fight him again in the future … because this history is so different than the other ones. The first one was a draw, I beat him terrible in the second one, [and] the f****** judges in the third one stole my belt. I thought the fourth fight against him would be a very interesting matchup. But it is what it is. I’m just really focusing on my next fight against Kara-France.”
“I’ll be disappointed [if Figueiredo leaves], because just imagine the legacy, the history,” Moreno said. “Wow. If Figueiredo is watching this or watches this in the future, stop saying stupid things. Just wait for me and I’ll see you in the future. More than money, more than whatever, legacy, brother. We can make it together.”
