New interim flyweight champion Brandon Moreno said that he stayed respectful to Deiveson Figueiredo after his fight with Kai Kara-France because of his young daughter.
In the post-fight press conference, 'The Assassin Baby' revealed that he was cautious in his face-off with the Brazilian as he did not want his daughter to see him doing "stupid things on television." Moreno said:
"[Figueiredo] was in Dallas since two days ago. I saw him in the lobby, in the hotel and I was ready to take the mic, 'Let's go for the fourth fight.' But, everything I say is real when my other daughter, Madison, she is eight years old. No, whether she understands everything or not, she will understand. I knew I had the opportunity to be a better example for her. I don't want her to see her dad doing stupid things on television."
