Deiveson Figueiredo wants $1 million for fourth Brandon Moreno fight

One of the first things Deiveson Figueiredo did after he regained the UFC flyweight title with a decision win over Brandon Moreno at UFC 270, was to call for a fourth consecutive bout against the former champion. And on Monday, January 31st, the two-time UFC 125-pound champion named his price for that fight.

“I’m ready for a fourth fight against Brandon in Mexico,” Figueiredo said through an interpreter during his post-UFC 270 in-cage interview with UFC commentator Joe Rogan. “We’re going to be doing a fourth fight.”

‘Deus da Guerra’ appeared on The MMA Hour with the UFC flyweight title strap over his shoulder, alongside his manager Wallid Ismail serving as his interpreter, telling Ariel Helwani that, “If (the) UFC wants to do something historic, let’s pay historic money for the flyweight division… $1 million dollars is beautiful.
