Deiveson Figueiredo: Title Defense Callin'
The Brazilian flyweight king, Deiveson Figueiredo, boasts a professional record of 21-2-1. A UFC mainstay since 2017, this adrenaline junkie has racked up 10 wins - including four title bouts - over the past four years.
Back in February 2020, Figueiredo snatched the vacant UFC Flyweight title by technic-knockout against Joseph Benavidez. This grew into 5 accomplished title defenses, with the initial two victories over Benavidez (TKO and submission) and another submission win over Alex Perez (December 2020).
Their first meeting with Moreno ended in a draw in 2020, thanks to Figueiredo's one-point deduction for an illegal groin strike. Still, most fans agreed that Figueiredo had the upper hand that night. Figueiredo tasted defeat in their rematch (June 2021), but recently claimed revenge through a unanimous decision in their third encounter (2022).
Figueiredo hasn't challenged an opponent since then, but rumors buzz that he's been beefing up in the gym to defend his title - with possible future aspirations to conquer the Bantamweight division.
Brandon Moreno's Confidence Soars
In contrast, Moreno, a 20-6-2 flyweight powerhouse, has kept active, with his last fight against Kai Kara-France at UFC 277 (2022). Moreno took it all the way to the fourth round, ultimately securing the win through TKO.
Moreno's preferred method of ending a fight? Submissions. In fact, he's one of the best submission artists in flyweight division history. Moreno also dazzles with his grappling/wrestling prowess, strikes, and stamina. Look for these strengths to play a critical role in Saturday's fight.
Will Moreno employ tiring tactics to claim victory against the powerful Figueiredo? Maybe - but Moreno has shown remarkable resilience throughout their battles, staying undefeated within distance despite getting dropped a few times.
The Verdict: Fourth Time's The Charm?
Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno 4 appears to be anyone's fight. However, we lean towards Figueiredo, as he's had more time to strategize and prepare for this monumental quadrilogy showdown. Expect Figueiredo to defend his title, possibly by KO/TKO.
Picks: Deiveson Figueiredo by knockout/technical knockout
In the upcoming quadrilogy fight between Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno, Figueiredo is expected to defend his UFC title through a knockout or technical knockout, given his training and preparation for this historic event. Moreno, known for his submission skills and grappling prowess, may employ tiring tactics, but Figueiredo's mixed-martial-arts background might let him thrive in a striking battle.
