Tonight’s UFC 270 event is\u00a0co-headlined by a trilogy fight between reigning UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno and former title holder Deiveson Figueiredo.<\/p>\n

Moreno (19-5-2 MMA) and Figueiredo (20-2-1MMA) most recently collided at UFC 263, with the Mexican standout dethroning the Brazilian by way of submission (see that here<\/a>). That rematch was preceded by a majority draw in their first encounter at UFC 256.<\/p>\n

Adding to the intrigue of Saturday’s trilogy is the fact that Deiveson Figueiredo will be cornered by Henry Cejudo, who previously served as Moreno’s trainer.<\/p>\n
