Brandon Moreno is not a very big fan of Deiveson Figueiredo after their fight at UFC 270. The former champion is hoping for a fourth fight with the Brazilian after their bout on Saturday.

Brandon Moreno sees a big difference in the way Deiveson Figueiredo fights compared to when he first became champion. There was more aggression in the way he fought before.

“What got him to the top is not there – at least with me,” UFC flyweight Moreno explained to MMAJunkie in Spanish. “He’s not the bully. He’s not the aggressive man that looks for the knockout. That’s gone. That’s what I saw from this fight. All that is gone. I saw a guy that respected me a lot, and like you mentioned, he was smart and knew how to play his cards.

“The series is tied because the first fight basically doesn’t count because it was a draw,” the former UFC champion continued. “I finished him in one fight, and he won the other in a somewhat questionable decision. If his evolution was just strategy, that’s the easiest part to solve in a fourth fight. It’s so strange how MMA works and how things develop. It seems that’s what’s next for us. Even if he doesn’t want it, and he’s mentioning (Kai) Kara-France, I think the division and the UFC wants this to truly be over, for it to be a clear 2-1 to end the story.”

It's not quite clear what direction the UFC will take with the flyweight division after the most recent title fight. There seems to be a lot of demand for a fourth fight between the two.
