The pair battled to a majority draw at UFC 256 , resulting in Figueiredo retaining his flyweight title. As a result, a rematch was booked at UFC 263. But in the second fight, Moreno did not leave it in the hands of the judges. Moreno was the busier striker to start, mixing things up with leg kicks and shots to the body. Figueiredo appeared tentative and was caught and dropped by a left hand in Round 1

The two sluggers meet in the co-main event of Saturday’s UFC 271 event at the Toyota Center, and “Bam Bam” believes breaking down how it’s likely to play out is about as simple as it comes. “I’m definitely not going to go out there and wrestle him,” Tuivasa said with a laugh at Wednesday’s media day event

It’s going to be, you know, the smartest fighter wins, and then the person who lands the hardest punch wins.” While fighters will sometimes bluff a bit ahead of fights as a means of maskign their true gameplan, Tuivasa and Lewis really don’t need to take such an approach. Tuivasa has scored 13 of his 14 career wins via knockout, while Lewis boasts 21 of his 26 career victories in the same manner.

Moreno (19-5-2 MMA, 7-2-2 UFC) and Diaz (20-13 MMA, 15-11 UFC) shared the same card at UFC 263 and sat next to each other on the dais at the pre-fight news conference where Diaz offered Moreno a puff of the joint he lit up on stage. They got to know each other after that, and Moreno wound up signing a deal with Diaz’s Represent Ltd clothing brand. Moreno, who captured the 125-pound title with an upset finish of Deiveson Figueiredo , said the deal started when Diaz’s team sent him a package

Oliveira (31-8 MMA, 19-8 UFC) may be known as a jiu-jitsu ace, but the UFC’s all-time leader in submission wins has knocked out three of his past five opponents, including Michael Chandler to claim the vacant lightweight title at UFC 262. Currently vying for the No. 1 contender spot are prolific strikers Dustin Poirier (27-6 MMA, 19-5 UFC) and Conor McGregor (22-5 MMA, 10-3 UFC), who will compete in a trilogy bout that headlines UFC 264 on July 10

Diaz (20-13 MMA, 15-11 UFC) displayed his incredible toughness once again when he almost pulled off an incredible comeback against Leon Edwards at UFC 263 earlier this month. Down four rounds to none, Diaz rocked Edwards with less than a minute remaining in the fight, but Edwards survived the late surge . Just like Diaz , Zahabi thinks the fight would have been over had Stockton’s finest had a few more seconds – or unlimited time in the fight. “If you put (Nate Diaz) in a fight where there is no time limit, I think he beats 99 percent of fighters,” Zahabi said during a recent Q&A on the Tristar Gym YouTube channel . “You can’t sub him.

As it turns out, the violence came close to spilling into the parking lot between a mayor and Gila River Arena employee. This is according to the employee, Robert Nejbauer Jr., who worked as a traffic controller the night of UFC 263 on June 12. Nejbauer attended this week’s City Council meeting to put Mayor Jerry Weiers on blast for his conduct while exiting the parking garage after the event.
