Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno are scheduled to fight for the fourth time at UFC 283 in January next year. However, Figueiredo might have an ace up his sleeve this time, with the Brazilian recently claiming to have a spy placed in Moreno's camp.

During a heated back and forth, Figueirdo stated that he 'infiltrated someone in your (Moreno's) team.' He also made it seem like he was fully prepared for whatever the Mexican will bring at UFC 283. "Deus da Guerra" didn't state who he had infiltrated in Moreno's crew, meaning the legitimacy of the Brazilian's claims are hard to verify.
