“God of War” Figueiredo
There are few fighters in Mixed Martial Arts that can boast the same level of knockout power as Deiveson Figueiredo. The former flyweight champion has looked almost unstoppable since 2017. His knockout power is undeniable and it’s rarely seen at 125 pounds.
After two successful title defenses, Figueiredo’s 9-2 UFC record and two round one stoppages led to the impression that the God Of War was ready to reign the category.
Now he will have to face his biggest rival and if he manages to regain the championship it is likely that the tension between the two fighters will increase.
“The Assassin Baby” Moreno
UFC lightweight champion, Brandon Moreno proved to the world of MMA that he is one of the best fighters alive with his five-round battle against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 256.
The first Mexican-born fighter UFC Champion in history hopes to defend his title.
This is the third time that these fighters face each other, and Moreno reflected on what happened in the previous two fights.
“I definitely think I won the first one too, but well, the first one was a draw and the second one you have to put it this way: I completely overpowered him, it was a complete performance on my part and this third one I’m expecting a Deiveson Figueiredo more aggressive than in the second one but more intelligent. said Moreno and added
I feel the two fights are very split. In the first one, he was very, very wild, wild too much; in the second one he was too much, too calculating, too thoughtful and that worked against him.
“I expect to see a combination of both sides, of both fights and I’m expecting the best Figueiredo. I’m waiting for a motivated Deiveson Figueiredo, a Deiveson Figueiredo with all the hunger of wanting to win because then when I win I can feel that I did the complete job, that I beat the best, I don’t want to see his face anymore, I don’t want to see his name again and move on to the next contenders.”
VIP Sportsbook Prediction
For UFC 270 the available odds at the sportsbooks are favoring Moreno. The last two times these two men met, Moreno, was able to counteract the best techniques of Figueredo’s. This is what makes this Saturday night’s meeting so interesting — it will be Figueiredo’s first chance to get revenge.
Both fighters have proven to be incredibly versatile in their approach – as shown by the previous two meetings. But Moreno is quicker.
His quickness is on a level higher than Figueiredo’s and so he can mix striking shots from outside with breaking traps within the grappling exchanges.
Figueiredo will have to change the plan of attack if he wants to take the victory.
The odds are right and Moreno looks superior to his opponent. I confidently put my money on the champion to defend his title. That’s for sure we are going to witness an impressive fight in this UFC 270 event.
