Things didn't go Brandon Moreno's way as he lost a close fight at UFC 270 and lost the flyweight title against Deiveson Figueiredo. Now the former champion wants to get right back on track.
Brandon Moreno feels like he has unfinished business against Deiveson Figueiredo and he wants to fight him again. The former UFC champion made it clear what he wants next.
“I want my manager to push for the fourth fight; that’s all I want right now,” Moreno told MMA Junkie in Spanish. “I don’t want anything else. Obviously if it doesn’t happen, I’ll be pissed. I’ll say whatever I’ll say, and then the next day I’ll be focused on the opponent. But for me, it’s very clear what I want – I want the fourth fight.
“I want to fight Deiveson, and I want to finish this. I want there to be a clear winner in all of this.”
Brandon Moreno wants to return quickly and do his best to not hold up the division. The UFC did express some interest in potentially running things back a fourth time.
“I’m willing to fight him in May or June so we don’t clog up the division and we have a finality to this,” Moreno said. “The balance is even, and this is caused by the draw in the first fight. If it wasn’t for that, we probably would’ve had a winner by now. A fourth fight is needed to close it out. Like I said, I’m willing to fight quick so we don’t clog up the division and have a solution to this.”
