In preparation for his title defense, which should take place in UFC 270 January 22nd, Brandon Moreno talked about Ultimate's choice to promote a trilogy in front of Deiveson Figueiredo. The flyweight champion (up to 56,7kg) revealed that he hoped to face Alexandre pantoja ou Askar askarov, but says he is ready for the 'third chapter' against the Brazilian.

“I was waiting for a fight and a lot of people were talking about (Alexandre) Pantoja and Askar askarov. To be honest, I don't know what happened to these guys, but I heard they were both injured. Then, officially, the UFC offered Deiveson Figueiredo and I accepted right away. He was talking about me running a trilogy,” said Moreno, in an interview with the podcast 'The MMA Tour'.
The history of Brandon Moreno e Deiveson Figueiredo was written after a close fight between the two athletes, which ended in a majority draw. However, in the rematch, the Mexican proved superior and submitted the Brazilian in the second round. Now, he took the opportunity to retort to his rival's 'provocations'.
“Obviously I thought I dominated him in the last fight, but that's okay. That doesn't interest me. He is the best sponsor of all – as he paid for my house and car. So let’s do it again,” he concluded.
In addition to the third fight between Brandon Moreno e Deiveson Figueiredo for the flyweight title (up to 56,7kg.), the UFC 270 also features a duel between Francis Ngannou e Cyryl Gane, which is worth unifying the heavyweight belt (up to 120,2 kg.), in the main fight of the night.
