Deiveson Figueiredo has announced a hand injury will likely keep him out of action until the end of the year.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian was last in action at UFC 270 in January, capturing UFC flyweight gold against Brandon Moreno. Following the trilogy bout, there was immediate talk of a quadrilogy matchup between the two. Dana White quickly gave his blessing and it seems that a fourth fight between Moreno and Figueiredo was on the books.<\/p>\n

However, the champion has recently called for a different matchup. Following Kai-Kara France’s victory at UFC Columbus, Figueiredo called to face him. Citing allegedly racist comments<\/a> made by Moreno’s team, he instead changed his target to the Kiwi.<\/p>\n

If he does indeed fight France next, it won’t be anytime soon. In an interview on Troca\u00e7\u00e3o Franca,<\/em> Figueiredo announced that he’s suffering from a hand injury, and won’t be back until October or November of this year. He also once again confirmed that he has no intentions<\/a> of fighting Moreno again.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis fight against Brandon Moreno doesn\u2019t interest me. He was racist with me, his followers constantly coming to my social media calling me monkey, Brandon Moreno\u2019s coach posted a picture of me. This fight simply doesn\u2019t interest me because of that. This guy doesn\u2019t deserve a title fight for his racist attitude. The fight to make is me against Kai Kara-France. \u2026 I want his head now.\u201d (h\/t MMAFighting<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n

\u201c[The finger injury] is not an injury that gets better overnight. I had an MRI and asked to forward it to the UFC. I have another injury [on the left hand] that I can\u2019t hit pads, and that\u2019s been bothering me. I\u2019m only able to train grappling in the gym, no punches.\u201d<\/p>\n

What do you think about Deiveson Figueiredo’s comments? Would you rather see him fight Brandon Moreno or Kai-Kara France?<\/p>\n
