Brandon Moreno Fires Shot At Deiveson Figueiredo For Wanting Flyweight BMF Fight

Brandon Moreno

Brandon Moreno hit out at UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo over his recent comments.

Figueiredo has recently engaged in some trash talk with Henry Cejudo and even called for a flyweight BMF title fight with him.

“[I want] a superfight for the ‘BMF’ belt. If the UFC wants this, I’m in. It would be another great fight to add to my game. They could do a belt between the 125 and 135 divisions, set up a weight and see who’s the baddest motherfucker in the lightweights.

“I want to fight Cejudo, man. He talks a lot, he’s always talking about everyone, so I want to stop this guy. I want to shut his mouth.”

Of course, Figueiredo first has to defeat Moreno first who he is expected to face in a rematch this year following their epic five-round war at UFC 256 last month that resulted in a majority draw.

Moreno made sure to remind him of that before thinking of a Cejudo fight.

“Hey @daico_deusdaguerra I heard you want to be the flyweight BMF, but I want to ask you how you want to be a BMF if you can’t beat a little Mexican kid, I don’t want to talk sh*t about you brother, you know, not my style,I just want to remember you have unfinish business with me.

“I know you don’t want to see me again in a long time 😅but tell me what kind of champion you are ?PD.- you need to fight if you want to buy more of those f*cking ugly clothes you wear.@wallidjfc translate please.End of the message. !!”

Certainly some strong words from Moreno there which will only make a highly-anticipated rematch with Figueiredo even more heated.

As for when it will happen, UFC president believes April or May is a likely date.

Who do you have winning in the rematch?
