UFC 270 (Flyweight Title Fight): (C) Moreno v. #1 Figueiredo

Who will WIN this FIGHT?

(C) Brandon Moreno (ESP)

#1 Deiveson Figueiredo (BRA)

 

Current odds:

Brandon Moreno: (-188)

Deiveson Figueiredo: (+162)

 

Figueiredo relies too much on explosiveness and athleticism to scramble and escape bad situations on the mat, and as seen on the second fight, that’s a very dangerous game to play against Moreno. Figueiredo can (and has) landed several big shots in both fights, but he needs to be far more disciplined this time around.

Moreno is less reckless, he’s got the power to hurt Figueiredo and his grappling and ability to win in scrambles has truly become outstanding. Above all else, Moreno’s strength was a real eye-opener.
