Deiveson Figueiredo (21-2-1) last fought someone other than Moreno 26 months ago. Alex Perez submitted the first defense of his championship. His feud with Moreno subsequently escalated, with him battling to a tie at UFC 256 and then losing his title after an outstanding performance by his opponent, who gave him a taste of his own medicine with a submission. He recaptured his crown with a unanimous decision to make it 1-1-1 in their third match a year ago.
Figueiredo has everything. He’s a fantastic athlete, strong and quick for 125 pounds. The Brazilian has several terrific foot weapons that can result in immediate finishes, he can wrestle very well, and his jiu-jitsu is just nasty. In his most recent battle, he also demonstrated his ability to stick to a game plan, which was the lone missing component in his quest to become a complete fighter.
Moreno seemed to need to mix it up in this fourth fight. He was dead set on boxing the Brazilian the last time they met. This time, I believe calf and body kicks, as well as takedown attempts, should be prioritized. He’s not going to be predictable.
