News Breaking: Moreno Vs Figueiredo 3 Booked For UFC 269 Dec 11th

[Brodie]

The Trilogy nobody asked for, maybe Figgy puts up a better fight. He looked awful last time, think the weight cut really affected his performance.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

Moreno a true champ, willing to take on all-comers

I'm not shocked but somewhat surprised. Pantoja deserved that fight. It had a story. It sold itself. Pantoja is criminally underrated. If Figgy doesn't diet like his whole career is dependent on it, he's making a grave mistake.

 

[King in the North]

Last fight was pretty one-sided. I don’t think this is necessary.

 

[hodhexdee]

BAHAHAHA looks like moreno cant duck the trilogy

I'm afraid Figgy will become the new Barao.

The trilogy no one asked for

 

[Argonaut]

I can't see figgy taking this one. The last fight was a beatdown.

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

Can't call me surprised tho, seeing what ufc been pulling lately these couple of years.

Agreed. What a nice gesture by Moreno to take the fight anyways.

It's kind of crazy if you think about it - I thought Figgy won that first fight 4-1 (not including the deduction) despite having an illness that put him in the hospital the night before. In the second fight, he was even worse off and was run over by Brandon.

I do think Figgy should get a rematch sooner rather than later but he needed to win a fight to get it.

 

[Huligani]

Dead division.

Honestly I would have preferred Fig not get this shot, even though he's technically a replacement. The next highest ranked available fighter should be up.

There was exactly zero debate about the Fig fight, he got out classed everywhere the fight went then put away. Running it back immediately makes no sense.

[fortheo]

UFC really loves rematches. I'm surprised this isn't on the same card as Usman vs. covington II and Rose vs. Zhang II

BAHAHAHA looks like moreno cant duck the trilogy

Ducking? Dude took the fight didn't he. lol nice logic.

Honestly, Askar should have been the replacement but no one knows who the guy is, sadly. Pantoja made sense. Figgy should have fought Askar in an eliminator.

I dunno I wanna see this fight

figgy didn’t look like himself

It really should be. That's a great idea, lol.
