Deiveson Figueiredo wants to fight Brandon Moreno for the third and final time. The former flyweight champion (and his manager Wallid Ismail) sent a quick video message to Ariel Helwani on Monday, calling for the trilogy to happen between him and Moreno next.
Figueiredo and Moreno fought for the first time at UFC 256, where the two engaged in a back-and-forth battle that was eventually declared a ‘Fight of the Year’ candidate in 2020. There would be no definitive winner, however, as the judges’ scorecards saw the fight as a draw and the flyweight title was kept in the hands of Figueiredo.
