The pay-per-view event has lost two main events, before settling on Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Brandon Moreno on December 12.
Deiveson Figueiredo: Brandon Moreno ‘will be submitted’
In his last outing, Deiveson Figueiredo went through Alex Perez with a first-round submission, and he believes Brandon Moreno will face a similar fate.
Deiveson Figueiredo predicts that he will beat Brandon Moreno via submission in the first round, he told MMA Fighting.
Deiveson Figueiredo called himself the ‘Dungeon Master’ after the ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ TV show character for his ability to predict the outcome of his bouts. Figueiredo made this prediction based on the fact that Brandon Moreno’s grappling and jiu-jitsu game is not strong enough.
According to Figueiredo, Alex Perez’s game was easy for him to crack through, and Moreno’s would be even easier.
On making weight for Flyweight title fight
Deiveson Figueiredo had a hiccup in his February fight against Joseph Benavidez. He failed to make the 125-pound mark required for a Flyweight Championship bout.
But there were no such issues in the rematch with Benavidez in July or in his last fight against Alex Perez. Deiveson Figueiredo assures that there will be no issues this time either.
The Brazilian usually bulks up to 147 pounds or so within days after a Flyweight bout. But despite fighting Alex Perez on November 21, he has kept his weight as low as 136 pounds with only two weeks to go before his next fight.
