Nothing of Henry Cejudo. Despite the attacks of Deiveson Figueiredo for a super fight against 'Triple C', according to the manager of the flyweight champion (up to 56,7kg.), Brandon Moreno should be Pará's next opponent. In an interview with 'BJPenn.com', the agent admitted that he is negotiating a rematch with the Mexican for the first half of the year.

“100% (certain) that his (Deiveson) next fight will be against Moreno. We are working to make it happen in June. There’s no date yet, but Deiveson wants it in June,” said Wallid.

The 'God of War' and Brandon met in December 2020, at UFC 256. Protagonists of one of the most exciting fights of the season, the confrontation ended in a draw, so that, as per the rule, the Brazilian kept his belt.

In the press conference after the show, the president of Ultimate, Dana White, said that he would give an immediate rematch to Moreno, who presented a great challenge to the current champion. Since then, there has been much speculation about a new duel.

Deiveson's position as immediate opponent, however, was threatened. After keeping the belt in UFC 256, the man from Pará started to publicly challenge the former champion of the category, Henry Cejudo, for a super fight. However, it seems that the Mexican will, in fact, be the opponent of the 'God of War'.
