UFC flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo will once again find himself as a sizable betting favorite as he seeks to defend his title for the second time inside 30 days while facing Brandon Moreno in December.
Heading into his recent fight at UFC 255, Figueiredo was over a 2-to-1 favorite to defeat Alex Perez and the Brazilian proved odds makers correct after finishing the fight with a guillotine choke less than two minutes into the opening round.
After the event ended, Figueiredo accepted a short-notice fight against Moreno after UFC 256 was left without a headliner following bantamweight champion Petr Yan being forced out of his bout with Aljamain Sterling on Dec.
