Deiveson Figueiredo fought Brandon Moreno three times

In their first fight at UFC 256 in December 2020, Figueiredo defended the title when the bout ended in a majority draw.

The Mexican then faced Kai Kara-France at UFC 277 in July for the flyweight interim title. Moreno won the fight via a third round TKO.

Also confirmed for the card are a Welterweight bout between Gabriel Bonfim and Mounir Lazzez, a women’s Featherweight bout between Zarah Fairn and Josiane Nunes, as well as a middleweight fight between Gregory Rodrigues and Brad Tavares.
