The Life of Schmitt 289

After five rounds of back-and-forth fighting, the fight was declared a majority draw. Figueiredo then faced Moreno in a rematch on June 12, 2021 at UFC 263. He lost the bout and the title via a rear-naked choke submission in round three.
Their series of fights was the first trilogy in UFC history to happen consecutively. The two first met at UFC 256 in late 2019, which ended in a majority draw. At UFC 263 in 2020 Moreno won with a third-round submission for Moreno. The UFC 269 card also includes a rescheduled bantamweight championship fight between Amanda Nunes and Julianna Peña. They were supposed to meet at UFC 265, but the fight was called off after Nunes tested positive for COVID-19.



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?
UFC’s second event of 2022 is a pay-per-view card that fight fans really should not miss. After a super-competitive close fourth round, arguably the hardest to score, Moreno was able to briefly score a takedown to open the final frame. In the fight’s final minute, both men had a wild exchange, landing Brandon Moreno vs. Deiveson Figueiredo 3 hard shots in close, with Figueiredo arguably getting more rocked by the strikes before the horn. When Figueiredo wins, he is usually doing work on the canvas, posting submission wins in three of his past six fights. That's why it was surprising when Moreno turned the tables on him last time out.

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

Brandon Moreno defeats Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 263 to capture the flyweight championship belt. They fought to a draw in December of 2020 at UFC 256, then Moreno (19-5-2) defeated Figueiredo (20-2-1) in the rematch at UFC 263 last June to capture the belt. Now that he is champion, Moreno plans to piece together a run as memorable as his title win, beginning with this first defense.
His heart and trust in himself have led to him coming back from getting cut by the UFC just some years ago, to now, the champion of the flyweight division. Beyond heart alone, Moreno, as with many of the elite flyweight’s, is an elite mixed martial artist with little, if any, flaws. When he decides to cut the range and engage, Moreno throws in quick combinations with natural power. On the mat, Moreno has very impressive scrambles that enables him to secure the more favorable grappling position.
