Deiveson Figueiredo Says He’s Ready For a Title Shot After UFC Fight Night 135

Deiveson Figueiredo spoke with MMAjunkie following his win over John Moraga at UFC Fight Night 135. Highlights are below:

On wanting a title shot against Henry Cejudo: “Now I have earned credit to ask for any of the top-5, even Cejudo. If it’s not Cejudo, make it Demetrious Johnson. I want one of the two…I’ve earned credit to ask for either of the two. I knocked out a guy who’s fought for the belt.”

On his staredown with Moraga at the weigh-ins: “Actually, I went to greet him. It’s a pleasure to fight a guy who I’ve always watched fighting in the UFC. I was a fan of the guy. I went to greet him, he told me to go (expletive) myself, and I told him to go (expletive) himself three times. That’s how my anger began.”
