Brandon Moreno is in disagreement with the judges following his UFC 270 defeat against Deiveson Figueiredo.<\/p>\n

Moreno put the UFC Flyweight Championship on the line in the co-main event of UFC 270. The action was held inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. “The Assassin Baby” was the clear fan favorite.<\/p>\n

While Moreno hoped to give his fans another victory, it wasn’t meant to be this time. Both men had a competitive fight but it may have been Figueiredo’s power that caught the eye of the judges. The bout went all five rounds and all three judges scored the bout 48-47 in favor of “Figgy.”<\/a><\/p>\n

After the fight, color commentator Joe Rogan asked<\/a> Brandon Moreno for his assessment of how things played out. The former 125-pound champion expressed his belief that he should’ve had his hand raised.<\/p>\n

“Man, I mean, I feel like I threw better combinations with more speed. Maybe he connected a little bit with more power but I don’t know. Obviously, I feel I won but it is what it is right now.”<\/p>\n

Rogan went on to ask Moreno if there was anything about Figueiredo’s showing that surprised him. Moreno did admit that his rival had a better strategy than he did in their rematch.<\/p>\n

“I feel like he did a better game plan against me but he was like a little just waiting too much. I feel like I was putting the better pace in the fight but I don’t know, man. I need to watch the fight again and see what happened.”<\/p>\n

Many are already calling for a fourth fight between Brandon Moreno and Deiveson Figueiredo. After all, the score is 1-1-1 between the two. They first met back in Dec. 2020 when Moreno challenged Figueiredo for the flyweight gold.<\/p>\n

Their first meeting ended in a majority draw. In the June 2021 rematch, Moreno turned in the performance of his life. He submitted Figueiredo in the third round via rear-naked choke to capture the flyweight championship.<\/p>\n

Do you think Figueiredo vs. Moreno 4 is the route to take next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
