Brandon Moreno was booed out of the stadium last night after winning back his UFC championship.

Moreno was set to fight the champion Deiveson Figueiredo one more time to decide who the best featherweight on the planet is.
You can read about the two fighters first three encounters here:
The bout took place in Deiveson’s home country, Brazil which just added to the build up and tension this bout already had.
The fight was an entertaining one with both fighters having their moments, but Brandon Moreno seemed to get the upper hand in most exchanges, putting him ahead on the judges scorecards for the first three rounds. Then headed into the fourth round a doctor was called into the ring to check out Deiveson’s eye that had fully swelled up.

The doctor made the decision to stop the fight making Moreno the champion and the Brazil fans very frustrated.
As Moreno ran out of the arena fans started to throw food and drinks at him and boo him right out of the building.

Moreno being the good guy he is just laughed it off and enjoyed his moment.
All in all it was a great win for Moreno but the disgraceful crowd put a sad damper on the event. Let’s hope the UFC can somehow stop this from happening in the future.
