It was always going to take a certain amount of the planets aligning before Brandon Moreno could secure a fourth fight with Deiveson Figueiredo. Now, it appears everything might be lining up for the "Assassin Baby."
Moreno, the former Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight champ, went 1-1-1 with reigning titleholder Figueiredo in the UFC's first-ever uninterrupted trilogy between two fighters. While the trio of fights was for the most part extremely competitive and very entertaining, Figueiredo was the one left standing at the conclusion of their third meeting this January, and popular opinion seemed to be that the two men were holding up an entire division while they settled their feud.
