Brandon Moreno issued a statement after his war with Deiveson Figueiredo, saying “Yesterday’s fight is why I dedicate myself to this.”<\/p>\n

Moreno had the biggest fight of his life on Saturday night at UFC 256, going all-out for 25 minutes in a crazy war with Figueiredo. It was an extremely close fight to call, and the judges ultimately ended up scoring the bout as a draw<\/a>. Regardless, it was an incredible fight and both men need to be commended for their epic performances. For Moreno, especially, it was a great showing for him considering he was a big underdog heading into the fight. But he showed in this matchup that he’s an elite UFC flyweight.<\/p>\n

The day after the war with Figueiredo, Moreno took to his social media to issue a statement about the fight. In it, the Mexican essentially said he is content with the fight, and regardless of the end result, he was just happy to be in such a great battle. Check out what Moreno wrote on his Instagram<\/a> below (translated from Spanish).<\/p>\n
