Kai is ready to accept this fight and Moreno says the whole thing was a mistake and Figgy made up an excuse to avoid the tough fight. Former flyweight champion and alleged GOAT Demetrious Johnson had something to say about it. Talking to Ariel Helwani MMA Timesaid, “Yes, it makes a lot of sense for the UFC and maybe the athletes. But I know how UFC contracts are structured, so will Brandon Moreno fight Figueiredo or Kai Kara-France?
Demetrious Johnson hatches the perfect plan for Brandon Moreno
Demetrious Johnson explained that the UFC does not award flyweights PPV points, he said. “These guys don’t get pay-per-view points. They never gave Flyweights pay-per-view points. Don’t pretend you’re buying 800,000 pay-per-views.” He also devised a brilliant plan for Moreno that would put him in a much better position in his career.
“You’re better off fighting Kai Kara-France or Pantoja.” Demetrious Johnson continued. “Then you get that, boom, you get your show and your win, so you’ll probably make $250,000. Okay, then you can be on an escalator so you fight someone else, you have $250,000 more so you get $500,000. Now you’re fighting for a world title, get your $30,000 Reebok sponsorship.”
“Finally, I was like, ‘Hey, I have two fights on my contract. You know, I don’t want to re-sign, I want to fight for it.’ Let’s say you win the belt, next thing, you’re in a great position. So it’s better to just fight for the money and then go for it.”’
