Moreno defeated Figueiredo in Rio to become the new UFC flyweight champion
Opponents were cut, not sparing each other.
On the night of January 22 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in the co-main bout of the UFC 283 tournament, Brazilian flyweight champion Deyvison Figueredo defended his title against Mexican Brandon Moreno.
In the first round, the champion had the advantage, but the challenger gradually leveled the situation, and the fight turned into a real felling.
In the future, Moreno completely seized the initiative, spending the rest of the third round on an opponent.
And then the unexpected happened. Figueredo's corner refused to release the fighter for the next five minutes due to a huge hematoma around the champion's left eye.
Brandon Moreno won by technical knockout and became the new champion of the UFC flyweight division.
