Elite flyweights Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno put on a show for fans on Saturday with a five-round barnburner. The bout ended in a majority draw as the “God of War” keeps the UFC flyweight belt around his waist.
One contributing factor to the verdict was the point deduction on Figueiredo in the third round because of the thudding groin shot he landed on Moreno. But another reason was the 10-9 score that judge Junichiro Kamijo had for the challenger in the fifth round.
Moreno showed significantly less activity in the final round compared to the previous four.
