The organization of the title fight was reported by informed sources close to the situation.
Previously, the fighters had three fights – the first, held in December 2020, ended in a draw, in the second, Moreno won by rear naked choke, and in the third match, Figueredo regained the championship belt by winning a unanimous decision.
After the final match of the trilogy, which took place in January of this year, the Brazilian did not return to the octagon, and the Mexican in July finished with a technical knockout of Kai Cara-France and became the owner of an interim championship belt.
