Brandon Moreno: Deiveson Figueiredo needs to earn rematch, but Cody Garbrandt a good name

LOS ANGELES – UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno would like to return to the octagon in November against a new challenger. An immediate rematch with Deiveson Figueiredo is not on his immediate wish list.

“It’s obvious Figueiredo wants the next one because he lost the last one,” Figueiredo said during a media lunch on Tuesday. “But man, the last fight, I dominated him, in the first round, in striking, in grappling, in wrestling, so obviously I’m open to fight again with him. But I think he needs to fight with somebody.”

Figueiredo has called for a third fight after submitting to Moreno in the third round of their UFC 263 co-headliner.
