The two world champions have already fought each other three times in the UFC. Their first encounter finished in a draw at UFC 256. In 2021, Moreno prevailed in the third round thanks to a submission, while at UFC 270, Figueiredo gained revenge, coming out on top at the end of five rounds.

Figueiredo is ranked 12th in the pound-for-pound list in the UFC, but victory over his biggest rival in the flyweight division could see him jump into the top 10 in those standings. The 34-year-old has lost just twice in his professional MMA career. His other defeat came against Jussier Formiga back in 2019.

Moreno is not far behind Figueiredo in the pound-for-pound list, as he is in 14th place. He was last in action at UFC 277 back in July. He got the better of Kai Kara-France in a third-round TKO to land the interim Flyweight title.

The Mexican has lost just once in his last nine contests. He was named the 2021 Breakthrough Fighter of the Year following a big 12 months for him. The 28-year-old was the first UFC champion from Mexico and victory over Figueiredo would grab a lot of headlines in his home country.
