Former UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno has revealed how Deiveson Figuereido has improved over his previous two fights.
“I pressed him today, he stepped back, but then suddenly exploded,” Moreno said at the post-match press conference. – It seems to me that the volume of blows was on my side, although he took it by force. In the first fight it was the same, I gave volume, he gave strength, but you never know for sure what the judges will see. I couldn’t be too aggressive today because that’s what he was waiting for. I had to wait, feint. Was he more aggressive himself? He was more prudent in his attacks, he understood better than last time when to attack.
After the fight, it was not a problem for me to approach his team and congratulate them. The only thing I’m not ready to pay respect to his coach Eric. Why? I don’t like drama in my life, but you can do your research and find out that at one point he acted ugly towards me».
Figuereido defeated Moreno via unanimous decision at UFC 270 to regain the championship belt.
