Deiveson Figueiredo
- Odds: -112
- Record: 21-2-1
- Age: 35
- Height: 1,65 m
- Weight: 56 kg
- Reach: 173 cm
This Brazilian, a native of Pará, has been the best flyweight in the UFC for years, but Brandon Moreno has always breathed down his neck. Figueiredo has faced him three times, putting his title on the line: the first ended in a draw, in the second he lost the belt, and in the third he regained it. At 35, he has just two defeats (he was beaten by his compatriot, Jussier Formiga, in 2019).
He has been a UFC fighter for almost 6 years, and his name (and also his nickname, God of War) is positioned among the best. Of his 21 professional wins, only four have come on the cards, which leads us to think that his finishing power is key.
Brandon Moreno
- Odds: -112
- Record: 20-6-2
- Age: 29
- Height: 1.70 m
- Weight: 56 kg
- Reach: 178 cm
The Mexican contender, Brandon Moreno, knows that this is a great opportunity to get rid of an opponent that has become a classic. As he stated, he compares this fight to Rocky’s journey to snowy Moscow to face Ivan Drago.
He knows he will be in hostile territory for the first time, but he’s confident he is ready to take the belt to Tijuana. However, this fighter knows what it is like to face Brazilian fighters, as in 2020 he defeated Jussier Formiga there.
JefeBet Prediction
Deiveson Figueiredo vs Brandon Moreno is an extremely even duel: the Brazilian will want to take advantage of fighting at home and of his great experience, while the Mexican will seek to take advantage of his physical superiority (he is taller and has a longer reach). However, we believe that within the parity, Figueiredo will win on the cards.
Prediction: Deiveson Figueiredo wins by unanimous decision.
