‘I’m faster, more technical’ - Moreno says UFC champ Deiveson Figueiredo only has a good right hand

Flyweight title challenger Brandon Moreno knows the task ahead of him is difficult, but by no means does he think it’s impossible. Scheduled to take on Deiveson Figueiredo, at UFC 256, the ‘Assassin Baby’ is aware that his opponent is a frightening power hitter, but the Mexican doesn’t feel ‘Deus da Guerra’ as the most technical fighter in the division.

In an interview with Combate, Moreno emphasized how he needs to be careful not to get caught by Figueiredo or KO’d, like many others before him. However, he also thinks he can outsmart the champion in the Octagon in order to secure the first ever UFC title for a fighter from Mexico.
