Deiveson Figueiredo was set to fight Brandon Moreno for the fourth time in his first defense of the UFC flyweight title. That fight appears to be in jeopardy as the Brazilian no longer has any interest in the fight.

Deiveson Figueiredo claims that Brandon Moreno's team was racist and that was a big reason he wanted the fight cancelled. The UFC flyweight champion has his eyes on Kai Kara-France instead.

“Dear @danawhite I just wanted to say thank you for the opportunities that you have given me, my family and my country,” Figueiredo wrote on Instagram. “You know that I would fight anybody, anytime and anywhere. That’s being said, I wanted to fight Brandon Moreno for the 4th time, because I know this is what the fans want.”

“Until his Team crossed the line with racist comments,” he continued. “Calling me a monkey and even going to the extent of photoshopping a monkey’s face on top of mine. You know what I’m talking about @raul_entram When all this happened I went on a campaign to stop racist and prejudice in my city where it is predominately Indians and blacks.”

The message on Instagram ended with Deiveson Figueiredo making it known that he wants to fight Kai Kara-France instead. The situation is a very confusing one with the UFC flyweight champion.

“As the UFC Champion of the world, I ask you to consider my wish,” Figueiredo added. “I wish to fight the next contender in line @kaikarafrance who has earned his spot. #stoptherasicm #weareone”
