Who won the fight
The third time was the attraction for Diveson Figueredo. The former flyweight champion reclaimed his throne with a unanimous decision victory over Brandon Moreno in the co-main event of UFC 270 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, on Saturday night.
The first two fights in the rivalry were good, but the rubber match was an instant classic.
The two showed once again that they could make for an electric matchup in a hurry. The challenger used a lot of leg kicks to slow Moreno’s movement, but the champion landed some good shots of his own in the highly competitive first frame.
The second round prototype was high quality flyweight action. Moreno hit some power punches while Figueredo continued to stay away from a leg kick. Have some really fun melee and it was another tough round to score.
