DALLAS – Brandon Moreno has no intention of slow-playing his career to make sure a fourth fight with Deiveson Figueiredo happens. Moreno (19-5-2 MMA, 7-2-2 UFC) is full steam ahead, and that’s why he’s set to rematch Kai Kara-France (24-9 MMA, 7-2 UFC) for an interim flyweight title in Saturday’s UFC 277 co-main event, which takes at American Airlines Center and airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN/ABC and ESPN+. After Figueiredo (21-2-1 MMA, 10-2-1 UFC) reclaimed the 125-pound belt from Moreno in their trilogy fight this past January, the promotion was intent on booking a historic fourth meeting. Figueiredo sustained a hand injury, though, and couldn’t meet the original timeline. Moreno said he was given the option to postpone the fight but decided against it.
