Figueiredo and Moreno met each other twice in the past. The first time the two flyweights met, Figgy defended his belt as the fight was called a draw. In the next fight, however, Moreno created history by choking out Figueiredo to become the first-ever Mexican-born champion in the UFC.

The Brazilian is determined to win back his belt this weekend. In the face-offs he spoke to Joe Rogan and said, “I have come back more strong. In four months to I have been training to get this guy with Eric and Henry. Tomorrow I am going to stroll over. I hope he took great care of my belt. It is mine,” said Figgy.

The crowd was definitely rooting for his opponent Moreno. Deiveson will have to fight tomorrow against an amazing Moreno who will have the entire arena chanting his name and hoping he beats the Brazilian. Do you think Figgy can win back his belt in California tomorrow?
