The Blogging of Webster 582

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.
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.



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?
Fight scheduled between Askar Askarov and Kai Kara-France, per ESPN's Brett Okamoto. Both have made strong cases and have yet to get a crack at the title. Now, Figueiredo has his own win in this rivalry, and it leaves the division in an interesting ufc270 place. The first fight saw Figueiredo attempt to fight Moreno on a three-week turnaround after beating Alex Perez at UFC 255. Moreno established himself as a serious threat in a fight that ended up in a draw after a five-round battle.

Figueiredo’s most likely path to victory is with a decision or a potential knockout, although a decision seems the most likely.

The historical trends indicate that backing the fighter who won the previous bout is the wise decision once the rematch takes place. Blindly backing this trend may prove unwise, given Figueiredo would have secured a unanimous victory in the first bout if not for a point reduction, thus showcasing he has the necessary skills to secure the win. However, in the second matchup, Moreno looked to be the faster, better conditioned, and just the notch better in every aspect of the fight when compared to the former champion. For this reason, I am quite confident in my backing of Moreno against Figueiredo. Moreover, I anticipate this bout reassembly the second matchup of Moreno keeping the pace of the fight at a high rate which will inherently attack the biggest weakness of Figueiredo – cardio.
Deiveson Figueiredo was the UFC flyweight champion and making his second title defense at UFC 256 on Dec. 12, 2020. Figueiredo and Moreno battled to a majority draw (48-46, x2) in the main event. Figueiredo was deducted a point for a groin strike during the contest that proved to be the difference, but Figueiredo retained the belt since it was a draw. A professional since 2011, he also competed at the Legacy Fighting Alliance, where he was the LFA Flyweight champion.

I like him to get it done on the ground, perhaps setting up a fourth fight between these rivals down the road. Figueiredo, a.k.a. "Deus da Guerra," suffered just the second loss of his pro career in that submission loss to Moreno. Figueiredo's only other loss was a unanimous-decision setback to Jussier Formiga back in March 2019.
