Brandon Moreno defends his flyweight championship against Deiveson Figueiredo this Saturday at UFC 270.
The fight marks their third straight bout. They fought to a draw in December of 2020 at UFC 256, then Moreno (19-5-2) defeated Figueiredo (20-2-1) in the rematch at UFC 263 last June to capture the belt. Now that he is champion, Moreno plans to piece together a run as memorable as his title win, beginning with this very first defense.
“I am focused and preparing for this fight,” said Moreno, who carved out a legacy by becoming the first Mexican-born champion in UFC history.
