Talking of Moreno, apparently Figgy is calling for the fourth fight to be cancelled, following a social media post from Moreno's side that could be (and he has) interpreted as racist. He's asking to face Kara-France next.

Yeah, Moreno’s saying it’s bollocks and that his teammate (fellow UFC fighter Marcelo Rojo) was pissing about with a various filters over pics of Moreno, Figgy, Dana and a bunch of people. A monkey filter was one of many and someone took a screenshot of it over a picture of Figgy.

I can definitely see why Figgy was pissed but it does seem like more of an out of context thing that took on a life of its own. And even if Rojo was being racist, as disgusting as that would be, it wouldn’t really be fair to punish Moreno for something his teammate did.

All that said, I’d be all for going the Figgy vs Kara-France route next and doing Moreno vs Pantoja or someone. I love Flyweight at the moment but it’d be even better if they could break out of the Groundhog Day thing they’ve got going on in the title picture currently. I never thought I’d get sick of seeing Figueiredo vs Moreno but spamming 4 fights between them consecutively is proof you can have too much of a good thing sometimes.

The tweet didn’t load straight away for me then and I genuinely thought this was Cerrone getting his walking papers. I know he’s booked against Lauzon but that didn’t stop them pulling Rothwell from the Gus fight to sack him. You just never know. 

Shame really. Oliveira’s not on a good run but they’ve kept some right shite on the roster on losing streaks who aren’t nearly as entertaining to watch. His last fight with Kevin Holland was ace as well. At a time when we’re seeing stuff like Aspen Ladd vs Norma Dumont as a 5 round main event, and looking at how weak this Saturday’s card is, it’s hard to think there isn’t still room on the roster for a guy like Cowboy Oliveira. Even coming off losses.

You guessed correctly who I was thinking of 😂 he’s gone now though isn’t he? Although I suspect he’ll be back with one win on the minor leagues because he tells Dana he looks thinner or some shit.
