"My manager is pushing so hard for that" - Brandon Moreno confirms that talks are on with UFC for Deiveson Figueiredo quadrilogy

Brandon Moreno has revealed that discussions are underway for a potential fourth fight between himself and Deiveson Figueiredo.

In an edition of The Fight with Teddy Atlas podcast, Teddy Atlas asked ‘The Assassin Baby’ about a possible quadrilogy fight between him and Figueiredo. Moreover, Atlas also asked if the fight could take place in Moreno’s native Mexico.

Highlighting the incredible support he received from Mexican fans in Anaheim at UFC 270 in January, Moreno stated:

“Guys, my manager is pushing so hard for that fourth fight. We don’t have nothing real right now, but I mean, my manager and UFC are having like, some conversation now about the fourth fight against Figueiredo."

"Last fight (UFC 270) in Anaheim was crazy; all the Mexican people there. Wow! The energy that night was crazy. I mean, you know, because when I won title in Arizona, all the vibe was amazing. But this time – all the Mexican flags; all the arena was so loud. I’m waiting for the pay-per-views to see how many pay-per-views the event sell.”

Moreno also suggested that although the UFC 270 main event was a heavyweight title unification fight between Francis Ngannou and Ciryl Gane, it was his thrilling co-main event matchup against Figueiredo that was the real main event.

The Moreno-Figueiredo series of fights stands at 1-1-1. Their first fight ended in a majority draw that saw Figueiredo retain his title. The rematch witnessed Moreno win the title via third-round submission.

The trilogy matchup ended with Figueiredo recapturing the title by beating Moreno via unanimous decision. Whether the UFC schedule their quadrilogy fight right away or match them up against different opponents next remains to be seen.
