While the women’s flyweight title will be at stake in April, the UFC men’s flyweight championship is slated for a highly anticipated rematch a couple of months later.
ESPN’s Ariel Helwani reports that champion Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno will rematch at UFC 263 on June 12th. These two first met at UFC 256 on December 12th, with the all-time classic ending in a five-round majority draw thanks in large part to Figueiredo losing a point for a groin strike.
Figueiredo (20-1-1) had one hell of a 2020. He knocked out Joseph Benavidez in February but missing weight meant the flyweight title remained vacant.
