#4 UFC champion Brandon Moreno vs Deiveson Figueiredo
Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno have electrified the UFC's 125-pound division by putting on two amazing fights back-to-back for the flyweight title.
Their first encounter at UFC 256 was a solid 'Fight of the Year' contender, as both fighters slugged it out for five tough rounds. The bout ended in a majority draw, with 'Deus De Guerra' getting deducted a point for landing an illegal blow on Moreno.
The two were scheduled for a rematch at UFC 263. In the build-up to their fight, many MMA pundits predicted an easy victory for the Brazilian fighter. But Moreno pulled off an amazing win as he submitted Figueiredo in the third round via a rear-naked choke. With the win, Moreno became the first Mexican-born champion in the UFC.
With a win in his next fight, 'Deus De Guerra' could easily set himself up for another shot at the title. So there is a very strong chance that we might see the two 125-pounders slug it out for a third time in the octagon.
#3 UFC champion Francis Ngannou vs Stipe Miocic
Francis Ngannou finished Stipe Miocic at UFC 260 to be crowned the heavyweight king of the UFC. The fight showed that 'The Predator' had grown by leaps and bounds, as he corrected his mistakes from his first encounter with Miocic and knocked out the Ohio fighter in the second round of the fight.
In the first fight, Miocic completely outclassed the Cameroonian fighter for five rounds and cruised to a unanimous decision victory, with all the three judges scoring the fight 50-44 in Miocic's favor. Both fighters now stand at 1-1 against each other.
There is no clear contender lined up for Ngannou right now. Derick Lewis and Ciryl Gane will face each other for the interim heavyweight title.
Miocic is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight fighters to ever grace the sport. If the 38-year-old manages to come back and secure a win over a top contender, there is a chance we might see a trilogy bout between Ngannou and Miocic.
