Brandon Moreno Vs Deiveson Figueiredo Complete Combat Video
Which means there’s a “personal problem with Brandon Moreno” leading him to believe that he’ll destroy the Mexican fighter. Round 1 showed that both men had studied each other extensively before this bout. Figueiredo worked the calf kicks and leg kicks repeatedly while Moreno worked right hands including one that may have hurt Figueiredo. At one point Moreno did hurt his opponent but wasn’t able to finish the bout there.
Since UFC 256, Deiveson Figueiredo, who had a massive 2020, has discussed his interest in a bout against former two-division champion Henry Cejudo, who retired last May. A bout against former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt, who was scheduled to challenge Figueiredo late last year, also remains an option. This past December, UFC President Dana White immediately expressed his interest in a rematch. Not only was the fight an instant classic, but it was deemed a majority draw.
So, we are leaning towards a Moreno decision, but this is destined to be another ferociously competitive scrap and there are not many outcomes to this fight that would surprise us. Moreno has never been finished and not many flyweights can go eight rounds with Figueiredo without getting knocked out and submitted and that is why we are also backing the Mexican. We expect an improved version of Figueiredo, but we also expect Moreno’s durability to be able to endure five rounds again.
They were training partners at Cejudo's Fight Ready gym in Phoenix. Their families were close, and the bond appeared to be very strong. That was until The Ultimate Fighter Season 24, as Cejudo and Joseph Benavidez were coaches on the flyweight season. The season was based on a collection ufc270 of flyweight champions from various promotions, with the show's winner fighting Johnson for the championship. ANAHEIM, California — Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo put on another classic show on Saturday in the flyweight title fight in the co-main event of UFC 270.
Lastly, Moreno has extremely impressive cardio that is a foundational attribute for him maintaining speed and a battle-tested chin inside the octagon. The former flyweight champion reclaimed his throne with a unanimous decision win over Brandon Moreno in the co-main event of UFC 270 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on Saturday night. The co-main event of UFC 270 sees the trilogy fight between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo go down in what will most likely be the very last fight between them. The UFC flyweights fought to a draw in December 2020 and Brandon Moreno won by submission in June 2021. It’s safe to say they know each other very well and the third fight could very well be the most exciting fight between them.
Brandon Moreno became the UFC's first ever champion from Mexico. And he did it without needing bad blood to fuel a rivalry. Watch the full UFC 255 post-fight press conference with Deiveson Figueiredo above. Round 2 brought more of the same except Moreno was showing a lot more power, that had Figueiredo diving for a single leg but doing nothing with it.
On the feet, Moreno has made significant strides and has developed into a tough and fundamental boxer with some real pop in his strikes. He typically keeps a defensive guard, allows his opponent to swing and hit his guard, and then return with a combination, often ripping the body and pelting the chin. Moreno’s bread and butter though is his grappling and submissions. He is technical, strong, and fluid on top or from his back in any position.
There are a lot of question marks with Deiveson Figueiredo and that makes it very tough to pick him in this fight. Things like cardio, wrestling, and the weight cut make it very risky. He is one of the best flyweights in the division and has all the talent and skills to become a champion. Brandon Moreno just has too many paths to victory and not as many question marks. The co-main event of UFC 270 is going to be close, but all signs point to the champion having what it takes to get the job done. It’s not going to be quick, Moreno and his team are prepared for that.
