In an interview with the North American website “TMZ Sports”, the Mexican spoke about his dream of doing a quadrilogy with the Brazilian in his home country, but recognized that the power of choice is in the hands of the champion and said he was open to facing him. anywhere, including in Brazil.

“I would love to go to Mexico City and face him. It would be incredible for me, for the Mexican people and very courageous on Figueiredo's part. Much credit to him for that. But I understand that he owns the ball. If he wants to go to Brazil or other places, I don’t care,” said Moreno.

The trilogy between Deiveson Figueiredo e Brandon Moreno is tied. In the first fight, the two ended in a draw and “Daico” defended the title. In the rematch, the Mexican won by submission and won the belt. In the trilogy, it was the Brazilian's turn to emerge victorious and regain the top of the division.

The balance and rivalry between the two leaves the doors open for what would be the first quadrilogy in UFC history, which, according to Moreno, would be essential to put an end to this story.

“I have a fight, he has a fight. I just want to see a clear winner in all of this. If I lose or win in the next fight, I think it's the end of the rivalry. It's the only exciting fight right now in the flyweight division. Four or five years ago, the division was dead, and now it's more alive, man. I really believe this fight makes sense”, said the former champion.

Lastly, Brandon Moreno assured that even after three meetings, he maintains his opinion on Deiveson Figueiredo.

“My thinking is the same. Horrible human being, great fighter. That’s it”, he concluded.
