If Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo don’t hate the sight each over by now, they just might after this coming January. According to Brett Okamoto of ESPN the flyweight title trilogy fight has been moved from this year’s UFC 269 to UFC 270 on January 22.
If all goes as planned this will be the third time these men have met each other since December 12 last year. Neither has fought anyone else since then.
Their first contest was a majority draw at UFC 256, which meant Figueiredo retained the UFC flyweight title. Their rematch this June ended when Moreno snatched up a third round submission and, with it, the UFC belt.
