Rivalries: Brandon Moreno UFC277 —by bknapp52635
Jarring leg kicks and two knockdowns spurred the Brazilian to a unanimous decision over Moreno in the UFC 270 co-main event on Jan. 22, 2022 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, where he reclaimed the undisputed flyweight championship and drew even in their head-to-head series at 1-1-1. Figueiredo swept the scorecards with 48-47 marks from the cageside judges, becoming the UFC’s first two-time champion at 125 pounds. All five rounds were competitive.
He connected with the most memorable blow of the match when he decked Moreno with a right cross in the closing seconds, trailed him to the canvas and clamped down on a guillotine choke as the horn sounded. The fourth and fifth rounds were seesaw affairs. Moreno unleashed two- and three-punch volleys in the fourth and executed a takedown early in the fifth.
