Is it near impossible Fig wins a decision here?

Moreno being the volume guy, and Fig tending to gas late in fights. Or at least he has on a few occasions. Will he blow his wad in the first 2/3 rounds?

Fig might go in there thinking he is Ngannou of FW, but Moreno has a solid chin and will at least survive the first round. I can see Figueiredo really struggling if this fight goes over 3.
 
It's not impossible, there could also be 10-8 rounds in there if he hurts Moreno but can't finish him.

However if it does go the difference then I do favour Moreno.

I think this is a much closer fight than people think it is.
 
I posted in another thread that of all the fights, this one is the easiest to pick. Afterward I thought about it more. And ya, Fig going too hard for the finish and not getting it, is a possibility.
 
Yeah completely possible, Figgy comes out to kill.. Though he did come out in the 3rd pretty well against Pantoja(latest time he got to the 3rd round) and his best round against Formiga was his 3rd so who knows... He's only had to go to the 3rd three times in 21 fight career lol never mind 4 & 5.

4 and 5 Moreno has seen before against both Pettis and Perez(in LFA). i'd expect the decision to go to Moreno if it does go that far.
 
i'd still slightly favor Figgy. good chance he at least wins rounds 1-3, and then with decisions favoring the champion more it seems, that boosts his odds. should be a good scrap!

Moreno has never been finished as a professional, and he's proven to be extremely durable. I think this is about 50/50 finish or decision.
