A five-round Fight of the Year contender is getting another go as Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno reportedly meet at UFC 263 in June.
A UFC men's flyweight title rematch between Figueiredo and Moreno is being targeted for the UFC's June 12 event, according to ESPN's Ariel Helwani. MMA Junkie has also verified the report.
Figueiredo (20-1-1) and Moreno (18-5-2) fought to a majority draw at UFC 256 on December 12. The defending champion was deducted a point in the third round after landing an illegal groin strike on the Mexican-born challenger.
Figueiredo entered the first fight on a five-fight winning streaking, including a title defense over Alex Perez and two consecutive finishes of flyweight stalwart Joseph Benavidez. Moreno, on the other hand, entered UFC 256 on a three-fight winning streak highlighted by a first-round TKO of Brandon Royval.
UFC 263 is not officially set yet; however, it appears to be the calendar date coinciding with a June 12 event.
