Brandon Moreno unafraid of Deiveson Figueiredo’s power: ‘I can be more aggressive’ in UFC 263 rematch

Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo left everyone wanting more after their epic clash at UFC 256.

The only thing their December fight didn’t give us was a definitive winner as after five rounds of back-and-forth action, Figueiredo retained his flyweight title via majority draw. A rematch was inevitable and the two are set to fight again at UFC 263 on June 12 in Glendale, Ariz.

Though the two threw all that they had at each other, they also didn’t have much time to prepare for the fight as both were making a turnaround on less than a month’s notice so that UFC 256 could have a championship main event after a title fight between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns fell through.
