The trilogy and 3^rd consecutive fight between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. Normally, there isn’t an appetite for the same fight 3 times in a row. But not only were we happy to get the trilogy fight – there is talk that there may be a fourth!!
Why is that?

Well –

First of all, the first fight was a draw after Figgy was deducted a point for a nuts shot. Regardless of the nuts shot, it was close. After a draw you do a rematch. Then the underdog Brandon Moreno gets it done! Submission round 3, we have a new champ. And now its only fair to give the former champ a chance to get his title back. There are other potential contenders at 125, but Figgy deserves this shot.

And second, these two put on some incredible fights.

Flyweights are always fun. 125 might actually be my favourite division. Especially if we are only considering the actual fights themselves. Flyweights are so quick, and their technique is always so sharp. And these two are a perfect representation of why flyweights are so fun.

Figgy will walk his opponents down with strikes and is a threat to change levels. Moreno has really clean boxing and will mix up his strikes really well. And he out grappled Deiveson last fight! Overwhelmed him physically and ultimately got the RNC to win the belt.

They are about to fight for the third time and I still cant figure out who is truly better. For some reason, I still have the impression that Figgy is the more skilled and dangerous fighter. He is such a monster at that weight. But obviously – Moreno looked great in their last fight. He finished the fight to win the belt!

But – there is a part of me that wonders if Figgy was really at his best? He didn’t look exactly right. And he has mentioned being sick for that fight, having troubles with the weight cut.
BUT – something you learn, is all that stuff does not usually matter. The fighter who most recently proved they were better, will be better in the next fight too. I do not know who is going to win this fight. I will do my best to guess! But regardless, it is a safe bet this will be an all time classic.
Cant wait!
