Furious fans in Brazil hurl beer and objects at Brandon Moreno as Mexican is forced to sprint out of arena with security escort, having beaten home favourite Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 283 to reclaim title
Brandon Moreno was forced to flee the arena in Brazil after beating home favourite Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 283, shocking footage has revealed.
The Mexican triumphed in the lion’s den in Rio de Janeiro in the early hours of Sunday morning UK time, winning by TKO after doctors called off the fight due to Figueiredo’s eye being unable to open.
And Moreno, who reclaimed the unified flyweight title as a result, had to sprint out of the venue flanked by security to avoid reprisals from furious fans.
