It seems that the UFC flyweight champion no longer wishes to compete in Mexico against Brandon Moreno. Although Deiveson Figueiredo stated he wanted to have a fourth fight against the ‘Assassin Baby’ in his opponent’s home country, after getting attacked by fans online it looks like ‘Deus da Guerra’ has changed his mind.
On Combate’s podcast, Mundo da Luta, Figueiredo explained that this decision comes in part because his training partner – and former UFC champion – Henry Cejudo is also apparently not all that popular with Mexican fans. Because of the attacks he says they’ve both suffered, he’d like to see the quadrilogy bout happen anywhere else other than in Moreno’s back yard.
