Deiveson Figueiredo has claimed his "businessman" mindset was the reason behind his title loss to Brandon Moreno at UFC 263.
Speaking in an interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, the Brazilian, through his translator Wallid Ismail, said that he lost to 'The Assassin baby' in June because his focus was diverted towards things other than fighting.
"When the time I fought Moreno for the second time, I was a businessman. I opened a gym, I built the gym. I arrive in the gym and... I write cheques. I work in the gym and train. Now, I'm focused... I am 100% a fighter again. I don't think about business. I don't think about nothing. I just focus to be a fighter."

Deiveson Figueiredo is training with Henry Cejudo
Deiveson Figueiredo is currently training with former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo ahead of his upcoming title fight against 'The Assassin Baby' at UFC 270.
In a recent interview with The Schmo, Deiveson Figueiredo claimed that Moreno betrayed 'Triple C' and that he wants to get revenge on Cejudo's behalf.
"This fight is going to be a wonderful fight. I'm very motivated and he betrayed Henry Cejudo. You know the history, yeah? Henry Cejudo let the cry baby, the assassin baby live two years in his house and after that, cry baby Brandon Moreno get out and helped another guy to fight against Henry Cejudo. He betrayed Henry Cejudo and Henry Cejudo is really pi**ed off and now it's going to be revenge, it's going to be a big revenge right now," Figueiredo said via his translator.
