Brandon Moreno thinks Deiveson Figueiredo is ‘cringe’ for shooting a custom lego championship belt.
Shooting Range x Lego Belt
During episode two of UFC 270 Embedded, former flyweight champion Figueiredo went to an indoor shooting range in Arizona for the first time.
While he was there, one of the Brazilian’s coaches during this fight camp, Captain Eric Albarracin, presented him with a Lego championship to shoot, which he did. The significance of the Lego is because his opponent Moreno loves Legos and has a vast collection.

Moreno’s response
At UFC 270 media day in Anaheim on Wednesday, the flyweight champion was asked his thoughts on Figueiredo shooting the custom Lego belt. He wasn’t too bothered by it.
“I was like nooo, don’t do it. Nah, the belt was ugly,” Moreno laughed. “Even my daughter can make a much better Lego belt, but it’s fine, you know. Man, it’s so crazy. It’s so fake. I mean, my respect, they are the king of the cringe. My respect.”
