UFC 277: Dana White says it was ‘disrespectful’ to let Deiveson Figueiredo confront Brandon Moreno

Dana White said it was “disrespectful” to allow Deiveson Figueiredo into the Octagon after Brandon Moreno became the interim flyweight champion in Saturday night’s UFC 277 co-main event.

The divisional champ and Moreno faced off to hype up an impending fourth fight in their epic rivalry,
after “The Assassin Baby” had finished by third-round TKO at American Airlines Centre in Dallas, Texas.

While the interaction between the pair turned out to be wholly respectful, with the cabal of hulking security guards ultimately not required to intervene, UFC president White was still apologetic.

“It was kind of an in the moment thing,” White said at the UFC 277 post-fight press conference.
