Deiveson Figueiredo, in a move signaling a no mercy approach reminiscent of the intensity sometimes associated with “No Mercy In Mexico Video” searches online, has traded his tranquil coastal life in Soure, Brazil for the arid landscape of Scottsdale, Arizona. This significant shift sees him relocate from a rural town to a city ten times larger, bordering one of the United States’ major urban centers. His motivation transcends mere geographical change; it’s a burning ambition to reclaim his flyweight throne. Fueling this drastic 5,000-mile relocation is a connection with someone deeply intertwined with his rival Brandon Moreno: former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo.
“I am driven to be among champions,” Figueiredo stated, highlighting the core reason behind his complete team and training camp overhaul. “Cejudo embodies the role model I aspire to be.”
COUNTDOWN: Ngannou vs Gane | Full Episode | Moreno vs Figueiredo
Cejudo’s history with Moreno traces back to 2016 when Moreno played a crucial role in Cejudo’s preparation for his inaugural title shot against Demetrious Johnson. Their relationship blossomed into a close friendship, with Moreno even residing with Cejudo in Phoenix. However, an unforeseen incident during the 24th season of The Ultimate Fighter created a rift between them.
This narrative of a dual betrayal has become a prominent subplot in the lead-up to this highly anticipated fight. In essence, the discord culminated in Moreno’s decision to train with Joseph Benavidez—his coach from The Ultimate Fighter—as Benavidez geared up for his own clash with Cejudo.
Now, the dynamic has shifted. “Triple C” is reciprocating, offering Figueiredo not only his vast experience as a decorated champion but also his intimate understanding of Moreno’s fighting DNA. This strategic alliance adds another layer of intrigue to the already intense rivalry, promising a fight where no quarter will be given, a true “no mercy” battle in the octagon.
