Brandon Moreno, Deiveson Figueiredo Set For Title Fight At Ufc 270
The news surprised people because the two nearly fought when Cejudo was the 125-pound champion. For this particular season, it was different as the UFC seeded the 16 fighters. So when the coaches selected a fighter, the first-round seeded opponent would go to the other team. Cejudo and Benavidez had no clue how the fighters were seeded until they were picked. The 16 seed ended up being Moreno, which upset Cejudo because of the relationship he'd formed with him.
He fights like he is trying to destroy his opponent, not just win. On the feet, Figueiredo throws with some serious heat and can land cracking blows from seemingly any angle and in the blink of an eye. Some guys, when they land, you can almost feel it at home; well, Figueiredo is one of those guys. Similar to Moreno though, Figueiredo’s true specialty is arguably his Jujitsu. On the mat, Figueiredo explodes into takedowns and scrambles. Like his opponent, Figueiredo is not just skilled but truly dangerous wherever the fight goes.
The result leaves the three-fight series at an even between the two fighters. “I’m praying for a fourth fight against Brandon in Mexico,” Figueiredo said. Conversely, I would expect Figueiredo to fire more leg kicks (landed 12-of-16 in the two bouts to date) due to his gym change and to keep digging to the body since Moreno’s chin is ironclad. Was it the problematic weight cut for Figueiredo that caused severe regression and an outlier performance, or did Moreno make significant adjustments?

His jab is a great intercepting shot and he often shoots it forward when he anticipates his opponent winding up for the rear power strike. Figueiredo should look to feint to keep Moreno’s already high guard up so that he can mix things up to the body, this should help deplete the workhorse and raise the chances of landing. The first two fights between these two have been very competitive, so you can make a case for either guy here. Figueiredo probably wins the first bout if he wasn’t deducted a point, so you can argue the first two meetings were split down the middle. And knowing that, I have to give Figueiredo the edge with the plus money. While both are slippery on the canvas and can get back on their feet, it’s Figueiredo who is sharper with his striking accuracy and has not lost back-to-back fights in his career.
Moreno’s confidence will be at an all-time high but the always professional will still give Figueiredo the respect he deserves and stay on his toes.

Upon checking the judges’ scorecard it was learnt that two judges Sal D’Amato and Junichiro Kamijo had scored a draw, whereas one judge, Derek Cleary had marked a win for Figueiredo. The fight went the full five rounds, and the judges were still not able to separate the two in the end as the match ended in a majority draw. Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo’s complete match video options the primary two clashes between the flyweight stars. My name is Adrian Hernandez and I will be your host for this game.
If Figueiredo decides that the lackluster first round he had was the catalyst for the loss, he may elect to forgo his cardio concern and come out ferociously against Moreno. This potential plan would be high-risk, high-reward, and I anticipate it being ill-advised given the strong chin of Moreno. Rather than implementing this strategy, I believe Figueiredo should simply reduce the power intent of most of his strikes which, in turn, keep the gas tank slightly more full to perform better as the fight progresses.
Near the end of the round Brandon Moreno did land a shot that seemed to wobble Figueiredo a bit. Moreno is a big fan of Funko Pop and is a dedicated Lego collector. Also fluent in English, Moreno is an active member of the Spanish language mixed martial arts community, and holds multiple podcasts in his native language. Moreno next faced Dustin Ortiz on April 22, 2017 at UFC Fight Night 108. He won the fight by submission in the second round and was awarded a Performance of the Night bonus.
