Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno rematch set for June 12

As expected, Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno are getting five more rounds to settle the score.

MMA Fighting confirmed with sources with knowledge of the matchup that a flyweight championship rematch between Figueiredo (20-1-1) and Moreno (18-5-2) is set for a UFC event on June 12. Figueiredo successfully defended the title against Moreno at UFC 256 in December via majority draw in a Fight of the Year contender.

ESPN was first to report the rematch booking.

Figueiredo won the flyweight title last July, beating Joseph Benavidez a second consecutive time.
