Brandon Moreno Beats Deiveson Figueiredo via TKO at UFC 283 to Win Flyweight Title

Brandon Moreno won bragging rights and the UFC flyweight championship with a third-round TKO win over Deiveson Figueiredo in the fourth chapter of their storied rivalry at UFC 283.

The victory came in a somewhat anti-climactic finish. The doctor stopped the fight between the third and fourth rounds after Moreno closed Figueiredo's eye with a one-two combination

The win gave Moreno the advantage in their series, which was tied at 1-1-1 after three epic fights. There are few matchups that fans would clamor for four times, but the ability for these two to put on classics left the organization with little choice but to schedule a fourth fight.
