The possible meeting between Deiveson Figueiredo e Brandon Moreno could 'make history' as the only quadrilogy in UFC history. However, the Mexican's coach, James Krause, is doubtful about the Brazilian's ability to break the limit established by the organization's flyweight category (up to 56,7kg) again.

In an interview with the website 'BJPenn.com', Krause claims that Deiveson is 'huge' and was wrong to leave the gym 'Fight Ready', who sharpened his game for the trilogy. The coach is still betting on an open spot to face Moreno and is considering a fight against Alexandre pantoja by the title.

“I think 'Figgy' (Deiveson Figueiredo) leaving 'Fight Ready' is a mistake. These guys did an excellent job preparing for the third fight. I feel like it's a mistake on his part, but it's not up to me to make the decision. But to be honest, I'll be surprised if the fight happens. He's huge, I don't know if he can return to flyweight. (Alexandre) Pantoja has to be next in line, Pantoja x Brandon for the linear flyweight title is what I would bet on. I don’t know who else you can put there”, analyzed James Krause.

Present in Dallas (USA) with his linear flyweight belt (up to 56,7kg.), Deiveson was able to follow, up close, the victory of Brandon Moreno in the third round. After a balanced confrontation, the Mexican landed a shot to the waist of Kai Kara France and became the new interim champion of the category.

Then, with the result announced, Figueiredo went to the Octagon to begin promoting a possible quadrilogy. Brandon, however, avoided the 'trash talk', declaring that he wants to meet again with the Brazilian. He even agreed to face the linear champion and is speculated in UFC 283, which was announced to take place in Brazil.
