Brandon Moreno

See the top Twitter reactions to Brandon Moreno's title unification bout win over Deiveson Figueiredo in the UFC 283 co-main event.

He was better in that moment AND overall. He's complaining he got poked in the eye, but it was a punch. Doesn't look like an eye poke or scrape to me. Heavy left for Moreno, Figgy with a body shot and eats a couple hooks. 1-2 from Moreno. Left hook from Moreno. Low kick from Moreno. [January 22, 2023] No win was more critical than this one, though, because the Mexican advanced from interim to undisputed champion with the win. Elbow from Moreno as they break the clinch.

Moreno regained the undisputed flyweight championship and he won the personal four-fight series with Figueiredo, 2-1-1.

The first tetralogy in UFC history came to a close on Saturday, as Brandon Moreno finished Deiveson Figueiredo in their fourth meeting across a span of 25 ...

Moreno mixed up his offensive attacks well, although Figueiredo did force him to defend dangerous submission attempts in the first and second rounds. Moreno won the rematch in June 2021, before dropping a close decision in the third fight last January. The victory closes out the first tetralogy in UFC history.

Moreno concluded a historic quadrilogy by forcing the doctor to stop the fight because of a nasty cut on the eye.

I was trying to put a lot of pressure on him this time." "But the people need to understand that I was just trying to get food for my family. Moreno was awarded a third-round doctor stoppage TKO and promoted to undisputed champion. "I was trying to be very, very smart and put a lot of my gameplan into this fight. Figueiredo fought the remainder of the round off his back with an eye that was swollen shut and terribly cut underneath. Moreno immediately had Figueiredo thinking, mixing up takedown attempts and a variety of strikes.

Para su mala fortuna, cayó en la tercera pelea, pero por primera vez le zaga llegó a un cuarto combate, donde se tiene esperanzas que el mexicano levante puño al final de la batalla. No obstante, no le fue bien, ya que luego de imponerse en tres peleas y perder dos, le dieron las gracias en 2018.

Johnny Walker is one of the most unpredictable fighters in the UFC. 🤯 @JOHNNYWALKER JUST TORE THE ROOF OFF OF @JEUNESSEARENA!!! Jessica Andrade pushed the limits of just how one-sided a decision victory can be against Lauren Murphy. Coming off a loss to Khamzat Chimaev, it was important for him to re-establish himself as one of the top fighters in the welterweight division. He easily took Magny to the ground and immediately worked on sinking in a choke. This certainly accomplishes that goal and will likely lead to at least one more big fight for the 36-year-old. Moreno now moves forward as the champion and is free to step away from the rivalry. Figueiredo contested the second strike as an eye poke in the aftermath of the combination. The four-fight series between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo finally reached a conclusion in the co-main event—for now. Moreno landed a looping left hook that landed perfectly in Figueiredo's eye and followed it up with an open-hand strike. Just like the previous three fights between these two flyweights, the action was tight and frenetic leading up to the finish. He continuously found a home for high kicks and boxing combinations as he battered the former champion.

Brandon Moreno has a line of contenders in front of him, including one who approached him backstage moments after his UFC 283 win.

The back-and-forth fight had all the makings of their previous three wild battles until Moreno landed a looping left-hand right in the Brazilian's eyesocket. After the final buzzer, Hill unsurprising swept all five rounds on the scorecards, reading him to tears. But once Hill stuffed Teixeira's first seven takedowns and found great success with his striking, their enthusiasm began to wane.

“So I think this is the year for the Mexicans in mixed martial arts. For sure, I want to go there.” “He came [at] me and he was very friendly with me, to be honest,” Moreno revealed at the UFC 283 post-fight press conference. “Because with all this rivalry with Deiveson Figueiredo, we started in 2020 and we finished in 2023. Then he started to look a little bit aggressive to be honest but my only point was let me enjoy it today. With a three-fight win streak and two previous victories over Moreno — including one that took place as an exhibition bout on The Ultimate Fighter — Pantoja was obviously bubbling over with excitement that he will likely be next in line for a title shot.

Brandon Moreno might be done with Deiveson Figueiredo, but his first title defense after UFC 283 should come vs. another familiar foe.

El próximo rival para él podría ser el también brasileño Alexandre Pantoja, un hombre que ya ha derrotado a Moreno en 2018 por decisión unánime y también en The Ultimate Fighter. Tras la victoria, Moreno pidió el regreso de UFC al país azteca para una cartelera de lujo. Krause había entrenado a “Cara de Niño Asesino” en su contienda anterior, ante Kai Kara-France, pelea que ganó para conquistar el título interino. El mexicano puso punto final al libro de su rivalidad con “Dios de Guerra” con un puñetazo que cerró completamente el ojo derecho de su oponente en el tercer asalto. Creo que por eso la gente estaba algo molesta conmigo, pero ¿qué les puedo decir?”, declaró Moreno, quien pareció gozar el enojo de la afición y salió con seguridad por el pasillo a los vestidores del Jeunesse Arena. Moreno detuvo a Figueiredo en los dos combates que ganó en la serie de cuatro peleas entre ambos.

Después de vencer al brasileño Deiveson Figueiredo en su propia tierra, Brandon Moreno abandonó el octágono escoltado por guardias de seguridad.

Después de derrotar al ídolo de los locales en el octágono, Moreno se disculpó con los aficionados que se dieron cita a la pelea, pero aseguró que él tenía que ir a buscar la victoria para poner en lo más alto el nombre de su país.
