‘I Want the Trilogy’- Deiveson Figueiredo Calls Out UFC Flyweight Champion Brandon Moreno
Follow Us
Former 125-pound champion Deiveson Figueiredo and current champion Brandon Moreno are without a doubt two of the best fighters in their division. The two men have fought twice so far. The first time they fought the fight went the distance and was declared a majority draw. Both Figueiredo and Moreno gave it absolutely everything and swung leather for 25 minutes in what was without a doubt the best fight of 2020.
Given how close the first fight was and that there was no clear winner, it only made sense for the UFC to run it back. The promotion scheduled a rematch earlier this year at UFC 263. This time around, Moreno left no doubt as submitted ‘Daico’ in the third round of their fight.

Figueiredo however, is gunning for a third fight. In a recent clip shared with Ariel Helwani, he stated that he wanted a trilogy fight against Moreno right away. He said, “Hey, Ariel. I want the trilogy against Brandon Moreno. Trilogy, man”

Following the win, ‘The Assassin Baby’ had no interest in an immediate rematch and was more interested in his next title fight. The likes of Cody Garbrandt, Alex Perez, and Alexandre Pantoja are front runners for the title shot at 125-pounds. A trilogy between Figueiredo and Moreno is inevitable at some point in time down the line. However, as things stand, a third fight would not make sense.
