Deiveson Figueiredo recaptured the UFC flyweight strap from the reigning champion Brandon Moreno via unanimous decision at UFC 270. The win came after a stupendous five-round war which many believed would go down as a majority draw. However, it was Figueiredo’s night, and he addressed the arena with teary eyes.

Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno walked into the octagon for the third time to settle the score once and for all. Although ‘Deus da Guerra’ was a huge underdog in the fight, he impressed everyone with his grit. The Brazilian stunned the champion a few times and didn’t get bowled over as they combined to put on a barn burner.
