Brandon Moreno believes Deiveson Figueiredo lost fight at UFC 263 presser, hedges on rematch

Newly minted UFC flyweight Brandon Moreno isn’t particularly compelled by a third fight against Deiveson Figueiredo.

“Maybe,” he said Tuesday on What the Heck. “The thing is, the fight was so dominant, so at least me the athlete, I’m not interested, to be honest.”

After dethroning the Brazilian champ in a rematch at UFC 263, Moreno is set on fighting again in his home country of Mexico, which he said the promotion is already working on for a return he expects to take place in 2022.

Figueiredo on Monday opened the possibility of moving up to the bantamweight division in the event an immediate trilogy with Moreno didn’t materialize.
