Arranged to rematch with Brandon Moreno at the upcoming UFC 263, the UFC champion of Flyweight Deiveson Figueededo has talked about an English script that may encounter legendary names of Flyweight like Henry Cejudo and Demetrious Johnson.
In an interview with AG Fight, Figueededo believes that Cejudo will soon return to UFC and he is ready to move to Bantamweight to fight Cejudo.
“I think Cejudo will soon play again, but not in Flyweight, this is my weight class, maybe the Bantamweight or Featherweight class, the most likely Bantamweight, I am ready to move to Bantamweight to compare with Henry, it will definitely be an attractive match.”
When asked about Demetrious Johnson, Figueededo said Johnson was somewhat better than Henry Cejudo. However, Figueededo believes that the 'Might Mouse' puncher will have the same outcome like Cejudo when he is up to him.
“I am very surprised by Johnson's loss to Adriano Moraes. Johnson's gameplay is very flexible. However, the Brazilian boxer had a great play strategy. And finally, Moraes gave 'Minnie Mouse' coldly lying on the floor.”
“Henry Cejudo will be knocked-out. Demetrious Johnson will have the same ending. I will handle them both,” Deiveson continues.
In the most recent match, Figueededo (20-1-1) has played with Brandon Moreno with the most drawing results. Earlier, Figueededo had a series of 5 victories against Alexandre Pantoja, Tim Elliott, Joseph Benavidez (2 times) and Alex Perez.
Deiveson Figueededo will be rematched with Brandon Moreno in the UFC 263 Co-Main Event on June 12, in Glendale, Arizona before the main match of Middleweight belt between Israel Adesanya and Marvin Vettori.
