In a flyweight championship bout on the main card, Deiveson Figueiredo and Brandon Moreno meet Saturday at UFC 283 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the UFC 283: Figueiredo vs. Moreno odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.
The early prelims can be viewed on ESPN+ beginning at 5:30 p.m. ET, with the prelims on ABC/ESPN/ESPN+ at 8 p.m., and the main card beginning on Pay-Per-View at 10 p.m.
Figueiredo looks to keep his strap in a 4th consecutive fight against Moreno. Figueiredo has a win, loss and draw against Moreno, so this fight will once and for all decide who the flyweight champ is in the UFC’s first title tetralogy.
The last fight between these fighters resulted in a unanimous decision at UFC 270 in January 2022 with Figueiredo coming out on top. Moreno submitted Figueiredo in the 3rd round at UFC 263 in their 2nd fight, and their 1st fight was a draw at UFC 256.
Figueiredo will look to get the fight to the mat, as he has 3 submission victories since October 2019, although his loss to Moreno also resulted in him getting choked out.
Moreno recently faced Kai Kara-France at UFC 277 in July to secure the interim flyweight strap. Moreno is 6-1-2 across the past 9 bouts, with 4 stoppages during the span.

UFC 283: Figueiredo vs. Moreno picks and predictions
Records: Figueiredo (21-2-1) | Moreno (20-6-2)
Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)
FIGUEIREDO (+110) is the lean in this 4th title fight between the 2 former champs.
Moreno has proven he can get it done a number of ways, posting a knockout against Kara-France last time out, while also submitting Figueiredo at UFC 263. Five of his past 8 fights have ended up going the distance.
However, Moreno (-130) will be fighting this one behind enemy lines, and the Brazilian fighter should feed off the energy of the pro-Figueiredo crowd to grab the edge and earn the win. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a distance fight here.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 4.5 ROUNDS (-145) is a solid play, as these fighters know each other like the back of their hands at this point. They’ve seen it all and done it all against each other. Look for this one to be decided by the judges.
As a result, play FIGUEIREDO BY POINTS (+275) for a chance to multiply your initial wager by more than 2 1/2.
