Brandon Moreno scooped plaudits for his daring and action-packed fight with Deiveson Figueiredo at this month’s UFC 256. The ‘Assassin Baby’ went toe-to-toe with the ‘God of War’ to earn a draw. That wasn’t good enough to swipe Figueiredo’s UFC flyweight title, but it likely earned him an immediate rematch and plenty of votes on various Fight of the Year rankings.
However, Moreno doesn’t think his five round war with Figueiredo should top such a list. Instead, he thinks the honours should go to a pair of strawweights who threw down near the beginning of 2020.
