The exciting duel between Deiveson Figueiredo e Brandon Moreno, which ended in a draw UFC 256, held this Saturday (12), in Las Vegas (USA), certainly deserves a continuation. At least that's what the company's president, Dana White, thinks. In the press conference after the show, the 'big boss' said that the flyweight representatives (up to 56,7kg) will face each other again for the group title at some point in 2021.

“The rematch will be in 2021. We need to give these guys a rest, but we will definitely have this rematch. It’s a fun fight to look forward to next year,” said the agent.

Deiveson and Moreno accepted the challenge of performing in the show 21 days after winning their fights in UFC 255, held on the 21st. While the Brazilian had made his first title defense against Alex Perez, the Mexican achieved the status of challenger by overcoming Brandon royval.

In the clash, the champion and the challenger showed why they are at the top of the category. For 25 minutes, the athletes gave their all and ended up drawing in a close match. With the result, Deiveson retained the title, which he won in July.
