Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo’s fourth meeting at UFC 283 will finally add closure to a back-and-forth series where each man has one victory, JustinBarrasso writes
For the fourth and potentially final time, Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo will step into the octagon to determine the flyweight champion. Their bout is the co-main event Saturday at UFC 283, and perhaps it will finally add closure to a back-and-forth series where each man has one victory.
Moreno had no choice but to find a new coach, as the man he had worked with—James Krause—is facing intense scrutiny due to. The mandate from the UFC is that no fighter can remain on the active roster if they are associated with Krause during this ongoing investigation, which led to Moreno splitting his training between Xtreme Couture in Vegas and Fortis MMA in Dallas.
“That loss was very frustrating,” admits Moreno. “I thought I won. It was close, but I understand how a judge could see it for Deiveson. I’ve turned the page. I lost. At this point, I’m focused on the next step. Now I get another chance. And this time will be different.”over the summer to win the interim flyweight title, setting up a fourth fight against Figueiredo.
It is not out of the realm of possibility for Moreno and Figueiredo to eventually meet for a fifth time, especially if both remain a presence in the title picture. But Moreno is preparing as if it is his final fight against Figueiredo, and he wants to make sure he is on the winning side of their history.
