Deiveson Figueiredo vows to KO Brandon Moreno in rematch: ‘I’m training for a short fight’

UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo is not interested in another five-round battle against Brandon Moreno.

After fighting the Mexican to a majority draw back in December 2020, ‘Deus da Guerra’ intends to have a short fight and finish the rematch quickly when they meet at UFC 263.

In an interview with Ag Fight, Deiveson explained he wants to finish the fight inside 10 minutes, and predicts a knockout win. Aggravated by Moreno’s trash talk about Figueiredo not having power, the Brazilian wants to prove the challenger wrong and silence his words in the Octagon.

“I’m training for a short fight,” Figueiredo said.
