Deiveson Figueiredo is focused on getting past Brandon Moreno Saturday night and cementing his status as UFC flyweight champion.
From there, he wants to join an elusive list and add a second title to his resume.
Figueiredo and Moreno will meet in the co-main event Saturday night. The card also features Israel Adesanya vs. Marvin Vettori for the middleweight title.
For Figueiredo, this is a chance to one-up Moreno after the two battled to a draw in their first meeting. And also make his case for the opportunity to fight for bantamweight gold in the near future.
“I’m always looking for the big fights and I want the boss to listen to this one,” Figueiredo said (thanks to MMA Fighting for the quotes). “Cause I want him to give me the chance to move up (a weight class). Cause I want to get that belt.”
While it might seem as if he is looking past Moreno, that is definitely not the case.
“First of all, he talks a lot and I’m going to shut him up,” Figueiredo said. “Because I’m going to knock him out in the first round. I’m going to knock you out.”
