Brandon Moreno, Deiveson Figueiredo Set For Title Fight At Ufc 270
Then again, it's hard to envision a scenario where Moreno and Figueiredo don't meet for a fourth time eventually. That new attitude should be scary in a division that has a few contenders ready to leap into the title picture. Despite the effect of the leg kicks he rallied to put together a strong fourth round and the fight headed to the fifth with the distinct possibility that it could determine the winner. As someone who started out betting horse racing, you learn to “draw a line” through a result sometimes because there are exigent circumstances that make an outlier performance unquantifiable and therefore unreliable.
The third round saw both fighters land heavy power shots. A left hand from Moreno wobbled Figueiredo, but Figueiredo fired back with more leg kicks and a big right hand that dropped the champion with seconds left in the round. Figueiredo started to gain momentum in the fourth with more attacks to Moreno’s lower leg and a few good combinations. Moreno hung in the pocket, but struggled to land at the volume he did earlier in the fight. The Mexican flyweight lost his UFC title to the man he won it from in Saturday’s UFC 270 co-main event in Anaheim, Calif. Moreno ( MMA, UFC) lost a unanimous decision to Figueiredo ( MMA, UFC) with scores from all three judges.
He found himself without having done anything significant by the end of round one and desperately trying to play catch up which evidently ended up with him walking directly into a jab and being caught coming in anyway. The trilogy rematch with Figueiredo for the UFC Flyweight Championship was scheduled to take place on December 11, 2021 at UFC 269 initially, but it was moved to UFC 270 as the co-main event. In 2020, Deiveson Figueiredo put the UFC flyweight title on the line against Brandon Moreno.
These are two fighters who are similar in talent level, and there won’t be any surprises with this being the third straight meeting. Now that Moreno is the flyweight champion, he champ appears extra focused ahead of his massive trilogy with Figueiredo. It’s arguably one of the biggest trilogies in UFC history and the first of its kind in the flyweight division.
