Brandon Moreno has been through a lot with Deiveson Figueiredo. From surprising the combat sports world with a thrilling draw in a makeshift championship bout, to creating the biggest rivalry the UFC flyweight division has ever seen, Moreno and Figueiredo have been on one hell of a journey to become one of the main stories of the post-pandemic era in MMA. This month at UFC 283 in Brazil, Moreno (21-6-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) ended the first quadrilogy in UFC history. He did so by stopping Figueiredo (21-3-1 MMA, 10-3-1 UFC) with a TKO to reclaim the UFC 125-pound title. It was a career-defining bout, as Moreno and Figueiredo were tied up 1-1-1. This championship contest was not only designed to crown the king of the division, but also define a winner of the rivalry – and maybe even more importantly, a loser, who would be put in a very difficult position in terms of future title contention.
