Newly minted Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight champ Deiveson Figueiredo has experienced a litany of attacks from fans on the internet since beating Brandon Moreno.

Following his fiery interview on the MMA Hour, where Figueiredo asked for one million dollars to make a fourth fight with Brandon Moreno, the champ discarded the possibility for revenge in Mexico. At the end of UFC 270, “Daico” claimed he would be willing to face Moreno in his home country of Mexico, but he has since changed his mind.
