Immediately after Brandon Moreno toilet Kai Kara France and win the interim flyweight belt (up to 56,7kg), the lineal champion Deiveson Figueiredo went up to the Octagon to ‘exchange a few words’ with the Mexican. In front of Joe Rogan's microphones, the Brazilian agreed to face the 'Killer Baby' for the fourth time, as long as the fight takes place on Brazilian soil. The ‘God of War’ did not hide his enthusiasm with the ‘yes’ said by his rival.

“Hey, I want to take this fight to Brazil. Shall we fight at my house? I've fought at your house several times, are we going to fight in Brazil now?” asked Deiveson.

Without blinking, the interim champion responded that he accepts the challenge and promptly amended:

"Let's go. I'm ready. I don't call. Come on, let’s go to Brazil”, added the Mexican.

With the duel underway, Deiveson Figueiredo e Brandon Moreno will share the octagon for the fourth time in approximately two years. In numbers, the confrontation is strictly tied, with a victory for each side and a draw. In the last clash between the two, in January 2020, the flyweights broke an organization record and became the first athletes in the company's history to have three consecutive clashes.
