Henry Cejudo recently offered fans some insight into how Deiveson Figueiredo dealt with hostile fans at UFC 270.
During an episode of the Triple C & Schmo Show, Cejudo opened up about his tactics to hype Figueiredo up in the lead-up to his third fight against Brandon Moreno.
"Bro, like, he would throw a punch and the crowd was going crazy and I told [Deiveson Figueiredo] before he went out tonight. I was like, 'Listen, boo, boo, boo, boo.' I started booing him just so he could know, because there was silence in the room. He's like, 'That's exactly what you're going to feel. You wait till we get out there.' And sure enough. We f***ing got out there and, excuse the French, we got out there and we heard it. We're like, 'Yes Deiveson.' I'm like, 'Yes,' encouraging them because yeah, the boos is like, 'Yes. That's what I'm telling you. We're doing it. We're doing it.'"

'Triple C' admitted that they drew inspiration from the fans' booing. He suggested setting up their potential rematch in a neutral zone like Florida to ensure the fans' demeanor doesn't prove to be a distraction the next time around.
