ANAHEIM, Calif. – Brandon Moreno doesn’t seem to understand the hostility coming from Deiveson Figueiredo going into UFC 270 . Moreno (19-5-2 MMA, 7-2-2 UFC) and Figueiredo (20-2-1 MMA, 9-2-1 UFC) have come into Saturday’s flyweight title trilogy fight with two different demeanors. The champion said he has “so much respect” for his opponent, while the challenger made it clear there’s bad blood on his end. That spilled over into Thursday’s pre-fight press conference, where Figueiredo made his disdain for Moreno quite clear. “Brandon Moreno (is a) crybaby,” Figueiredo told reporters, including MMA Junkie.
